Summary "Some Notes on Shipbuilding and Shipping in Colonial Virginia" by Cerinda W. Evans is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The work focuses on the development of shipbuilding and maritime practices in colonial Virginia, examining both indigenous and colonial approaches to watercraft. It aims to shed light on the significance of ships in transportation and trade during that period, emphasizing their role in sustaining the colonies. The opening of this historical account details the early watercraft present in Colonial Virginia, such as the dugout canoe used by Native Americans and various boats that settlers adapted for transport and trade. It explains the construction techniques for these vessels, particularly the dugout canoe, highlighting methods and tools used by both indigenous peoples and early colonists. The narrative then transitions into a description of ships that were integral to the colony's development, including the pinnace "Discovery" and the circumstances surrounding the shipwreck of the "Sea Venture", setting the stage for understanding the vital relationship between maritime activities and the growth of colonial society.
