A custom-designed cradle that will be used to transport the replica ship DISCOVERY to the United Kingdom is hoisted aboard the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Ship RFA FORT ROSALIE (A385) at Naval Station Norfolk, Va., on Oct. 2, 2006. DISCOVERY will be the center-piece of a major tour promoting the 400th anniversary of the settlement in Jamestown, Va. A"fly-boat"of the British East India Company, DISCOVERY was the smallest of three ships that took part in the voyage from London to the new colony of Virginia, leading to the founding of Jamestown in 1607.
