He recounted the travels of William Strachey, an English poet who was bound for Jamestown in 1609. The ship he was aboard, the Sea Venture, went off-course during a hurricane and landed in Bermuda where Mr. Strachey kept a year-long journal containing reflections on the New World. He would eventually reach Jamestown, which he recounted in dire terms. William Starchey’s journal would be later used as the basis for William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Mr. Woodward responded to questions from members of the audience.
