I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. JAMESV_180531_05.JPG: "Jamestown in the 1690s -- Changing Times". Winter By 1691, the circumstances were changing for the three cultures that came together at Jamestown. A delegation from the Nottoway tribe paid its annual tribute to the Royal Governor of Virginia in March. Wearing treaty badges, their clothing included matchcoats and leggings received in trade with the Virginia colonists. They passed the stately home of William Sherwood (right center) and enslaved Africans on their way to work in the fields.
2. JAMESV_180531_10.JPG: "Jamestown in the 1660s -- A Bustling Port". Fall As the capitol and primary port city of the Virginia colony, Jamestown witnessed a great building boom in the 1660s. There were numerous taverns (left), rowhouses (back center) and warehouses (right). To support the expanding tobacco industry, enslaved Africans and indentured servants from England arrived to begin their new lives in the burgeoning colony. A pile driver was used to construct new docks to support the increasing number of ships arriving with goods and people.
3. JAMESV_180531_14.JPG: "Jamestown in the 1690s -- Sherwood House" William Sherwood served as a burgess for James City County and rented portions of his house to the government for official meetings. Decorated with ornate plasterwork, it was one of the finest homes in Jamestown. Within Sherwood's household, Dorothy Jubilee (on the left) was an enslaved Virginia Indian who gained her freedom when Sherwood's will was presented for probate in 1698.
4. JAMESV_180531_32.JPG: "Jamestown in the 1620s -- From Fort to Cittie", Spring By the early 1620s, Jamestown had expanded beyond the fort. To increase immigration to the colony, "New Towne" was surveyed just east of the fort by William Claiborne. Lots weer purchased to build homes and businesses, including a pottery and gunsmith. Ships from England brought settlers seeking opportunities and wealth. They brought with them tools, fruit trees, pets, and domestic animals, including peacocks.
5. JAMESV_180531_35.JPG: "Jamestown in the 1630s -- Harvey Industrial Enclave." Summer Sir John Harvey served as the governor of Virginia from 1628 to 1640. He promoted a diversified economy and requested the Privy Council to send tradesmen, including tanners, brick workers, and shipwrights. His house (left structure) served as the statehouse during the early years of the colony. Within the surrounding area, a brick kiln (center, back structure) with its waster pit (in front of the kiln), brewery (right of the kiln), and a warehouse (right front) were in operation.

Wikipedia Description: Historic Jamestown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Historic Jamestown is the cultural heritage site that was the location of the 1607 James Fort and the later 17th-century town of Jamestown in America. It is located on Jamestown Island, on the James River at Jamestown, Virginia and operated as a partnership between Preservation Virginia (formerly known as the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) and the U.S. National Park Service as part of Colonial National Historical Park.

The site was designated Jamestown National Historic Site on December 18, 1940, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. It was also designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 2007 by the American Chemical Society. It is adjacent and complementary with Jamestown Settlement, a living history museum built run by the Commonwealth of Virginia to interpret the early colony.
