Virginia Quay Settlers Monument, Historic site in Tower Hamlets, England.
The monument features a polished granite plinth topped with a mariner's astrolabe sculpture on the north shore of River Thames.
Three vessels departed from this location in December 1606, leading to the establishment of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America.
The Grade II listed memorial incorporates a bronze plaque from 1928 that records details of the voyage and names of the expedition captains.
The monument stands on a paved terrace at Virginia Quay, accessible through the residential area of Jamestown Way in London E14.
The structure displays flags of the United States, England, and Virginia, representing the connection between these territories through colonial history.
