Death and Disease Spread Through Ship


A portrait of Raleigh's first expedition during their times of trouble.

Our voyage has taken a turn for the worst. Disease has spread through the ship. 5 Crew members have died so far. Many others are sick including me. Sir Grenville predicts we may lose a total of 15 men. Their have been numerous storms that have damaged the ship and Sir Grenville believes we may have to rebuild. Luckily, Sir Raleigh has provided us with enough money to do so. We are far from our home of Plymouth, England. Dangers could be ahead for us. We could be heading for a landing at an unknown destination in order to recuperate.
