Susan Constant
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Susan Constant was the largest of three ships of the English East India Company led by Captain Christopher Newport on the voyage that resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia in 1607.
Replicas of the Susan Constant, as well as the smaller Godspeed and Discovery, are docked in the James River at Jamestown Festival Park.
Some books have mistakenly referred to the ship as the "Sarah Constant".
