'Beyond the Horizon' mural, Ipswich Docks
Image: © Bob Jones Taken: 3 Apr 2008
This mural, created by Don Savage and unveiled in October 2007 by the Mayor of Ipswich, commemorates 400 years since the founding of Jamestown, Virginia. It brings together historical and contemporary references of a voyage that formed the basis of modern America. Suffolk-born Bartholomew Gosnold led the voyage, which suffered clashes with Indian tribes on its arrival and disease on the wet, mosquito-infested island. However, the Jamestown settlement survived and the introduction of tobacco as a commercial crop provided much of the economic basis for the settlement's survival. The mural is intended to be viewed both from the footpath and from boats as they approach and leave the port of Ipswich.
