Traveling in a 28-foot reproduction of Smith's shallop, and living much as Smith and his men did 400 years ago, the shallop and her crew spent 121-days voyaging to the headwaters of almost every tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. At more than 20 points along the route, the shallop and her crew stopped for public exhibitions so that people from all around the region could learn about this important episode in the history of the Chesapeake.
The Capt. John Smith 400 Project was sponsored by Sultana Projects, Inc., in partnership with the Friends of the John Smith Chesapeake Trail—a group of regional organizations led by CBF, the Conservation Fund, and the National Geographic Society.
