She was accompanied by the Starr with Captain Christopher Newport, now vice Admiral of Virginia and pilot John Clark, and the Elizabeth, three hundred people, supplies, horses, kine, goats, besides "coneies, pigeons and pullen." They reached the Canaries in April, the Dominica West Indies May 9, Porto Rico and anchored at Point Comfort at night, May 22, 1611. The men were listed as "honest, sufficient artificers, carpenters, smiths, coopers, fishermen, tanners, shoemakers, shipwrights, brickmen, gardeners, husbandmen and laboring men of all sorts." The Prosperous arrived from Virginia November 13, 1611, announcing the arrival of the Spanish ships in Virginia, the "landing of spies."
