    In 1607, the sailing ship Godspeed played an important role in American history; she was one of three ships that carried settlers to the Jamestown colony. We follow the construction of a full size replica of the three-masted ship commissioned by the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. Host Steve Thomas guides viewers through the 18-month process, from the laying of the keel to her first days at sea, exploring the combination of old world craftsmanship and modern technology used to put the ship together. When Godspeed is ready to take her first sail into the cold waters of Penobscot Bay, we get to see the ship in all its glory, learn about conditions on the original voyage, and ponder the courage of those who set sail 400 years ago.

    27. Secrets of Jamestown

    In 1607, 105 Englishmen crowded onto three ships to cross the Atlantic in search of a new world. They built a fort at Jamestown and established trade with the indigenous people. But things turned bad quickly--the natives became hostile, the land was unforgiving, and disease and hardship overtook them. Just how did Jamestown, long thought to be a near-failure due to its colonists' incompetence, survive to become the first permanent English settlement despite all odds? A 10-year-long archaeological dig is unearthing evidence every day that tells a different story. Host Steve Thomas climbs down a 400-year-old well, wades into a swamp filled with 1,000-year-old trees, and takes us to a firing range, a sculptor's studio, and right into a forensics lab to piece together the real story of Jamestown Colony.

But it's under constant threat from pollution, urban encroachment, and the same tourists that have made it so valuable. We join ecologists, as well as the National Parks Service, in their search for ways to preserve this vitally important ecosystem, while keeping it available to visitors for years to come.

    13. The Star-Spangled Banner

    This program, narrated by Roger Mudd, offers an interesting look at the history of the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key's poem confirming a young nation's sense of self. The particular flag Key saw came about through the herculean efforts of a seamstress to meet a request by Captain Amistad, commander of Ft. McHenry outside of Baltimore. The captain wanted a large symbol of American pride to wave in the face of the British fleet as it bombarded his post during the War of 1812. Most likely, the good Captain had no suspicions as to just how wildly successful his efforts would be--after Key's poem was published in 1814, it was paired with a tune from a drinking song (everybody knew the melody already so it was easy to remember) and became quite popular. In addition to tracing the song and flag's history, the program also looks at present-day intricate efforts to preserve what is left of the original fabric.

    Synopsis: 20/20 is an American television newsmagazine that has been broadcast on ABC since June 6, 1978. Created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, the show was designed similarly to CBS's 60 Minutes but focuses more on human interest stories than international and political subjects. The program's name derives from the "20/20" measurement of visual acuity. The hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Thursdays in September 1987, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.
