Onancock recalls Capt. John Smith this May

Onancock's big Capt. John Smith/NOAA weekend will begin with a kickoff event featuring well-known Smith biographer Aleck Loker on May 18. The Friday through Sunday public showcase is a signature event in Onancock's year-long celebration of marking the 400th anniversary of British colonists' landing at Jamestown in 1607. The replica of the shallop in which Smith made his voyage will be on hand at Onancock's wharf on May 19. (The Daily Times)
