Adventurer Pen - America 400
The America 400 pen tells the story of the first voyagers and their intrepid ships to
the New World. The Great Race and The Race to the Pole are two other models in our handcrafted Adventurer Series of sterling silver, story telling pens.
In 1607, three ships, Godspeed, Susan Constant and the Discovery set out from England on a brave voyage, with orders to ‘settle Virginia, find gold, and a sea route to the Orient’.
The route taken included a stop in the Canary Islands and, the Atlantic Ocean, with a better wind, would have taken about two months to cross; instead, the voyage lasted 144 days.
On landing, the settlers founded the first permanent English settlement in North America. This settlement was named Jamestown, in the new Colony of Virginia.
The America’s 400th Anniversary Fountain pen is detailed with the three ships in full sail around the cap, and the barrel features illustrations based on the sailmakers drawings of the day. A compass rose applies a finishing touch to the end of the barrel.
Choose a roller ball or fountain pen - the fountain pen has an engraved two tone nib in 18ct gold, with an iridium tip for fluid writing.
Complete with Limited Edition Certificate and luxuriously lined lacquered presentation box.
