Excerpt from The Church of England in Colonial Virginia, Vol. 1: 1607 1619

On the 26th of April, 1607, the settlers arrived at a cape, which they named Cape Henry in honour of the Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James the First. A cross was planted there. Then the expedition sailed into Chesapeake Bay and up the James River. On the 13th of May, the site for Jamestown was chosen; and the ships were made fast to the trees. The next day, the travellers unloaded. Both gentlemen and labourers felled trees to make a clearing for the fort.
