Captain John

Young John was born in the Southwest of England toward the end of the 16th century and came of age on the deck of a ship sailing to Virginia. He was known as a gentleman, a mariner, and a man who braved any risk - an adventurer. Later fighting Indians in Virginia, he became an officer under King Charles I. Captain John found a challenge he would live and die for on the coast and rivers of Virginia. Virginia was chartered to a privately held organization known as the Virginia Company, but England was in upheaval and the Virginia Company's Governor had seized control of the tobacco trade both in and out of Virginia. Captain John's business shipping tobacco was hurting and he began to identify and deal with those who defied him. Captain John could not be stopped and would never back down as the Governor and Head of the Virginia Assemble found out. Sailing in his ship from the busy James River port of Lynnhaven through the cold waters of the North Atlantic to England, Captain John Brunig, the mariner, has the courage to fight for a dream.
