James River

James River is a river in United States state of Virginia that begins in the Appalachian Mountains and flows 384 miles to Chesapeake Bay. The river length extends to 444 miles if one includes the Jackson River, the longer of its two source tributaries. It is the longest river in Virginia and the 12th longest river in the United States that remains entirely within a single state. Jamestown and Williamsburg, Virginia’s first colonial capitals, and Richmond, Virginia's current capital, lie on the James River.

In 1844, Geoff Jackson sailed from James River to the Bermuda Triangle on his ship the Great Redmond and soon disappeared. Fifty-six years later in 1900, only his ship was discovered.
