2007 The Settlement of Jamestown - 41 cent stamp

The 2007 The Settlement of Jamestown issue commemorates the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia — the first permanent English settlement in America, established in 1607.

This visually striking sheet features stamps die-cut in a distinctive diamond shape, depicting the three ships that carried the original English settlers across the Atlantic:

• Susan Constant — the largest of the three vessels and flagship of the fleet
• Godspeed — the second ship in the convoy
• Discovery — the smallest of the three ships

A wonderful collectible for American colonial history enthusiasts, maritime collectors, and stamp aficionados.
