The Cape Henry Memorial commemorates the first landfall at Cape Henry, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, of colonists bound for the Jamestown settlement. After landing on April 26, 1607, they explored the area, named the cape, and set up a cross before proceeding up the James River. A stone cross, set up in 1935 by the Daughters of the American Colonists, stands in the quarter-acre site. The memorial marks the First Landing, the very beginning of what would become British North America and subsequently Anglo Canada and the United States of America.

  • Das Cape Henry Memorial am Cape Henry in Virginia Beach, Virginia ist ein Denkmal für die erste Landung englischer Siedler in Nordamerika am 26. April 1607. Die Kolonisten erkundeten nach ihrer Landung die Umgebung und gaben dem Kap seinen Namen. Bevor sie weiter den James River hinauffuhren, an dem sie die Siedlung Jamestown gründeten, stellten sie an der Landungsstelle ein Kreuz auf. Das heutige Steinkreuz wurde am 26. April 1935 von den Daughters of the American Colonists auf einem ca. 1.000 m² großen Grundstück errichtet. Es erinnert an die erste Landung als den Beginn der britischen Besiedlung Nordamerikas und damit als Ursprung Kanadas und der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. (de)
