In 1602, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold (born in Grundisburgh, Suffolk, England) pioneered a direct sailing route due west from the Azores to the New World in what later became New England. He and his crew explored the coastline with the intention of establishing a colony and small fishing outpost in the southern part of Massachusetts on Cuttyhunk Island. Let’s enjoy first-hand accounts of their adventures. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!
