   Livie will explore the history of John Smith's 1608 Chesapeake adventures, the development of the John Smith 400 Project, and the building of the recreated shallop, as well as the stories of the brave reenactment crew that sailed and rowed the shallop throughout the Chesapeake in the summer of 2008.
