The Shipwreck That Saved Jamestown: The Sea Venture Castaways and the Fate of America by Lorri Glover and Daniel Blake Smith. First edition, first printing. In 1609 the Sea Venture, flagship of a relief fleet bound for the struggling Jamestown colony, was driven onto the reefs of Bermuda by a hurricane. Glover and Smith follow the castaways, among them Sir Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, William Strachey, and John Rolfe, through ten months of survival, mutiny, and shipbuilding on the island, and their arrival at a Jamestown devastated by the "starving time." The book shows how their survival rescued England's first permanent American colony, and how Strachey's account of the wreck helped inspire Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Within two years, warfare with Indians and dissent among the settlers threatened to destroy Smythe's Jamestown just as it had Raleigh's Roanoke a generation earlier. 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---the largest fleet England had ever assembled---and sailed into the teeth of a storm so violent that "it beat all light from Heaven."
