Jamestown Cruise on Miss Daisy
In May 2025 we are planning a trip on Miss Daisy down the Chesapeake to Jamestown generally following the 1608 voyage of Captain John Smith - but in reverse. We will begin in Port Deposit less than mile from where Smith realized he was not on the Northwest Passage.
We will use this site to plan and chronicle our trip. Captain Bill Slabonik will accompany us on the cruise to offer his expertise, his wit, and his many tales.
