Caption FIRST GERMANS AT JAMESTOWN The first Germans to land in Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in Virginia, arrived aboard the vessel <i>Mary and Margaret</i> about 1 October 1608. These Germans were glassmakers and carpenters. In 1620, German mineral specialists and saw-millrights followed, to work and settle in the Virginia colony. These pioneers and skilled craftsmen were the forerunners of the many millions of Germans who settled in America and became the single largest national group to populate the United States.
