Virginia (pinnace)

The Virginia or Virginia of Sagadahoc was a pinnace built in 1607–08 by colonists at the Popham Colony. She was the first English-built ship in what is now Maine and possibly in all of the English-colonized areas of North America. A demonstration of the new colony's ability to build ships, Virginia was built at the mouth of the Kennebec River in what is now Phippsburg, Maine. The ship was a project of the Plymouth Company, branch of the proprietary Virginia Company, on land England claimed as belonging to the Virginia.
