It has been 400-years since settlers landed at Jamestown and this historic event is commemorated with a double-sided souvenir sheet by the USPS. This attractive 20-stamp sheet was released May 1, 2007 and is one of the nicer looking souvenir sheets put out this year.
The design is taken from the painting done by Griffith Baily Coale in 1949. The three ships depicted include the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery. On the front of the sheet is a single stamp, with the back of the sheet having 19 more. If you are interested in more information on Jamestown, visit their website at www.jamestown2007.org
