FAMOUS PEOPLE
John Smith’s career has been on the rise lately. First Mel Gibson voiced him in the Disney cartoon about Pocahontas. Now Colin Farrell plays him in the adventure film "The New World". And to top it off, 2007 is the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, VA. Following is our list of quick links to the man who first named New England.
JOHN SMITH ON THE WB
Our interest is, of course, John Smith’s impact on New England. With all the fuss over Pocahontas and Jamestown, his exploits in this part of the country sometimes are forgotten. Please let us know when you find broken links or weird connections. Web links are volatile and can change suddenly and we have no way of knowing unless you let us know. Our email link is at the very bottom of every page. Enjoy your cruise. -- JDR
