A person who travels looking
for new discoveries
Who was the explorer that
landed right in our very
backyard?
Christopher Newport sailed for England. He was hired by the Virginia Company of London to journey to
the “New World.”
Newport was hoping to make an English colony in Virginia, discover riches, and find a western sea route to Asia.
Newport and his crew sailed 3 ships (the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery) across the Atlantic Ocean. They arrived at present-day Jamestown in 1607.

River.
