About Bartholomew Gosnold
He is considered by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) to be the "prime mover of the colonization of Virginia." Gosnold also led the first recorded European expedition to visit Cape Cod, on May 15, 1602.
In 1602, Bartholomew Gosnold sighted the island while on a voyage, and since then has been credited with “discovering Nantucket.”
