No. 18. JAMESTOWN IN 1907. This view shows
the present condition of the landing place of our first
forefathers, and the seat of the first civil and religious
establishment on the shores of North America. James-
town, a peninsula of land at the time of the landing on
May 13, 1607, has since become an island and would, but
for the protection afforded it by the United States Gov-
ernment, be gradually washed away by the James River,
whose waters, as will be seen, have approached the very
foundation of the precious and historical ruin of the old
church. The town was burned during Bacon's rebellion
in 1676, and it ceased to be the capital in 1699 when the
seat of government was removed to Williamsburg, Vir-
ginia. Since that time it has been of no particular im-
portance, excepting from an historical standpoint. (See
Nos. 7, 16 and 17.)
