How does this project relate to the Captain John Smith 400 Project?
The Captain John Smith Four Hundred Project, a multi-year educational effort to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Smith’s voyages, was developed by Sultana Projects in Chestertown, Maryland, as a signature product for the Friends of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Water Trail. The focal point of the effort is the full-scale reproduction of John Smith’s “shallop”, the 25- to 30-foot open boat used by Smith and his crew to explore the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
