Ambitions of finding gold and planting a New World colony seemed within reach when in 1606 Thomas Smythe extended overseas trade with the launch of the Virginia Company. However, from the beginning, the American enterprise was a disaster. Within two years warfare with Indians and dissent among the settlers threatened to destroy Smythe&#8217;s Jamestown just as it had Raleigh&#8217;s Roanoke a generation earlier.<\/p>\n<p>To rescue the doomed colonists and restore order, the company chose a new leader, Thomas Gates. Nine ships left Plymouth in the summer of 1609 &#8212; the largest fleet England had ever assembled &#8212; and sailed into the teeth of a violent storm. The inspiration for Shakespeare&#8217;s &#8220;The Tempest,&#8221; the hurricane separated the flagship from the fleet, driving it onto reefs off the coast of Bermuda &#8212; a lucky shipwreck (all hands survived) which proved the turning point in the colony&#8217;s fortune.<\/p>\n<p>The event is offered through the Time Travelers program, which provides free museum admission for UNMC employees, students, and their immediate family with a valid identification badge, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorri Glover, Ph.D., from St. Louis University, will speak on &#8220;The Shipwreck that Saved Jamestown&#8221; on May
