When British landed in America shortly after Columbus, they did not claim territory because they didn’t have the money to. They saw no reason to settle and did not want to
anger Spain.

PACKING FOR JAMESTOWN
You will have a trunk for your personal items which can be no larger than 12 inches wide, 10 inches deep and 2 feet long. It should have a lock to keep it closed even if the ship may be in turbulent weather and the trunk turns upside down! It must have a handle for carrying on and off the ship!
![Page 26: C URRENT S TATE OF THE W ORLD (pre-colonization)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed45503460f94be5082/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
There are very few detailed records of supplies for the earliest voyages to Jamestown. Therefore, historians have looked to later voyages, such as those in 1620 and 1622, in order to find any detailed lists of cargo. Among these were weapons (light armor, muskets, swords), tools (axes, saws, hammers, nails), utensils (dishes, iron kettles, pans), spices (sugar, pepper, ginger), food (salted pork and beef, peas, wheat, oatmeal), garden seeds (carrots, lettuce, garlic), clothing and miscellaneous items (lanterns, candles, and books). The very first settlers to arrive planned to barter with the native peoples for food; therefore, they must have brought items with them that they surmised would be items the Powatans would desire.
