DELAWARE TOURIST ATTRACTIONS Delaware Attractions One of the new Delaware Tourist Attractions is the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail which was launched December 19, 2006. The Historic Trail commemorates Smith's historic exploration voyages in 1607-1609 on the Chesapeake Bay and connected river systems.
Over 400 years ago, a young man from London called John Smith, working for the Virginia Company, helped establish the first successful English colony in North America named after King James I of England .The colony was called Jamestown. John Smith explored the vast Chesapeake region in a flimsy boat at great risk from the elements & hostile Native peoples. Smith's alluring descriptions of the Bay region's forests and wildlife in his 1608 account "A True Relation of Virginia ." accelerated the colonization of North America by English settlers.
