| The
Jamestown 2007 Celebration Is In Progress!
Jamestown 2007 is the event commemorating the 400th
anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607.
For celebration lasts for 18 months and includes events and programs planned
throughout
Colonial Williamsburg, all of Virginia, major
East Coast cities as well as Britain. The commemoration began on
May 27, 2006 with the sailing of the replica ship Godspeed
to major ports along the East Coast.
The highlight of the celebration is expected to be a visit
by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. As the current
British monarch, the queen's presence at this historic event
will further demonstrate the strength of the Anglo-American
relations. Elizabeth is the direct descendant and heir of
James I of England, under whose authority the settlement was
founded, as well as the direct descendant and heir to George
III of the United Kingdom, the King who lost the same
territory nearly two hundred years later.
In February 2006, it was announced that retired Supreme
Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor would become the
honorary chair of America's 400th Anniversary. In October
2005, she accepted the ceremonial role of becoming the 23rd
chancellor of the
College of William and Mary, which was
founded in nearby Williamsburg in 1693.
