Additional Details:
Adventurer in many Old World countries, a pioneer in the New World. Governor of Virginia Came here with two vessels in 1514, anchored in this island harbor and explored the coast from Penobscot Bay to Cape Cod, discovering a large opportunity for adding to England's glory by colonization. He returned home and spent his remaining years in advancing American enterprises because of his great interest in the future of America and to commemorate his connection with this island this tercentenary tablet is placed by Monhegan residents in 1914
