THE VOYAGE OF ARCHANGELL James Rosier's Account of the Waymouth Voyage of 1605

Four hundred years ago, Captain George Waymouth sailed from England to the coast of Maine in search of a suitable site for an English colony. Our best information about this comes from James Rosier, who was aboard the ship Archangell as a "gentleman" employed to document the voyage. His narrative gives us one of the earliest written accounts of the natural resources of northern New England and the Native people who resided here.
