Newport, Christopher 1565-
Navigator; born in England about 1565; commanded the first successful expedition for the settlement of Virginia, landing, April 30, 1607, at a place which he named Point Comfort because of his escape from a severe storm.
On May 13 he arrived at Jamestown.
He had been engaged in an expedition against the Spaniards in the West Indies not long before.
He made several voyages to Virginia with emigrants and supplies.
Before he returned to England for the last time he joined with Ratcliffe in an attempt to depose Captain Smith from the presidency of the colony.
He was defeated, and acknowledged his error.
Newport's manuscript work, called Discoveries in America, was published in 1860, by Edward Everett Hale, in Archaeologia Americana.
