  • The Popham Colony (also known as the Sagadahoc Colony) was a short-lived English colonial settlement in North America that was founded in 1607 and located in the present-day town of Phippsburg, Maine near the mouth of the Kennebec River by the proprietary Virginia Company of Plymouth. It was founded a few months later in the same year as its more successful rival, the Jamestown Settlement, which was established on June 14, 1607 by the Virginia Company of London in present-day James City County, Virginia, as the first permanent English settlement in the present United States. The Popham Colony was the first English colony in the region that would eventually become known as New England. The colony was abandoned after only one year, apparently more due to family changes in the leadership ranks than lack of success in the New World. The loss of life of the colonists in 1607 and 1608 at Popham was far lower than the experience at Jamestown. The first ship built by the English in the New World was completed during the year of the Popham Colony and was sailed back across the Atlantic Ocean to England. The pinnace, named Virginia of Sagadahoc, was apparently quite seaworthy, and crossed the Atlantic again successfully in 1609 as part of Sir Christopher Newport's 9 vessel Third Supply mission to Jamestown. The tiny Virginia survived a massive three day storm en route which was thought to have been a hurricane and which wrecked the mission's large new flagship Sea Venture on Bermuda. The exact site of the Popham Colony was lost until its rediscovery in 1994. Much of this historical location is now part of Maine's Popham Beach State Park.
  • ポパム植民地(ポパム植民地、英:Popham Colony)は、1607年に設立され、短命に終わった北アメリカのイギリス人植民地である。株主を集めた「プリマスのバージニア会社」(プリマス会社)によって設立され、現在のメイン州フィップスバーグの町、ケネベック川河口近くに位置した。ライバルであり、より成功したジェームズタウン開拓地とは同じ年で数ヶ月遅く設立された。ジェームズタウン開拓地は「ロンドンのバージニア会社」(ロンドン会社)によって1607年6月14日に現在のバージニア州ジェームズシティ郡に、アメリカ合衆国では初の恒久的イギリス人開拓地として設立されていた。 ポパム植民地は後にニューイングランドと呼ばれるようになる地域では初のイギリス人植民地だった。この植民地は、新世界での成功が無かったというよりも明らかに指導層の家族に変化があった為に、わずか1年後に放棄された。ポパムで1607年と1608年の間に植民者の人命が失われた数ではジェームズタウンが経験したよりも遥かに少なかった。 ポパム植民地があった間に新世界では初めてイギリス人が建造した船が完成し、大西洋を渡ってイングランドに戻る航海を行った。バージニア・オブ・サガダホック号と名付けられたこのピンネース船は明らかに外洋航行が可能なものであり、1609年にはクリストファー・ニューポート卿の9隻の船からなるジェームズタウンへの第三次補給船隊の1隻として、再度大西洋をうまく渡った。このちっぽけなバージニア号は途中、ハリケーンであったと考えられる3日間の暴風雨にも生き残った。この嵐では、船隊の旗艦で大きく新しいシー・ベンチャー号がバミューダ諸島で難破した。 ポパム植民地の正確な位置は1994年の再発見まで分からなくなっていた。この歴史的な場所の大半は現在、メイン州のポパムビーチ州立公園の一部となっている。
  • De Pophamkolonie was een kortstondige Engelse koloniale nederzetting in Noord-Amerika die in 1607 werd opgericht dichtbij de mond van de Kennebec; vlakbij de huidige stad Phippsburg in de staat Maine. Het was de eerste Engelse kolonie in het gebied dat uiteindelijk New England genoemd geworden zou worden. Popham was een project van de Plymouth Company, die speciaal was opgericht om delen van Noord-Amerika te koloniseren. Op 31 mei 1607 vertrokken 120 kolonisten onder leiding van George Popham op twee schepen (de Gift of God en de Mary and John) uit de haven van Plymouth. Op 13 augustus kwam de Gift of God aan bij de mond van de Kennebec die toen nog de Sagadahocrivier heette. De Mary en John kwam drie later dagen aan. De kolonie werd gesticht in een gebied met de naam Sabino. De kolonisten begonnen snel met bouw van groot fort, St. George genaamd. Ook werden er huizen en een kerk gebouwd. Daarna werd er een expeditie georganiseerd die contact moesten leggen met de Abenakistam. Dit mislukte echter. De Abenaki's wilden geen contact hebben met de kolonisten omdat eerdere expedities in de regio een aantal indianen ontvoerd hadden om mee te nemen naar Europa. Omdat de kolonisten in de zomer waren gearriveerd was het te laat om nog gewassen in te zaaien. De helft van de kolonisten keerde daarom in december terug naar Engeland. De andere helft ging een zware winter tegemoet met nauwelijks eten. De Abenaki's wilden in eerste instantie geen handel drijven en de voorraden liepen snel terug. De bewoners van de kolonie hadden inmiddels een nieuw schip gebouwd, de Virginia, het eerste Engelse schip gebouwd op Amerikaanse grond. Op 5 februari stierf George Popham. De leiding kwam toen in handen van de 25-jarige Ralegh Gilbert. In de zomer van 1608 kwam er een bevoorradingsschip uit Engeland met het nieuws dat de oudere broer van Ralegh Gilbert was gestorven en dat Ralegh nu de erfgenaam was van de titel en het familielandgoed. Hij vertrok samen met de overgebleven kolonisten op hetzelfde schip terug naar Engeland. Dit was het einde van de Pophamkolonie.
  • Colonia Popham, conform [The] Popham Colony (cunoscută şi sub numele de Sagadahoc Colony) a fost una din coloniile engleze de scurtă durată din America de Nord fondată în 1607 de către Virginia Company of Plymouth. Situată în perimetrul oraşului de azi Phippsburg, Maine, în apropierea gurii râului Kennebec, aşezarea a fost practic abandonată după mai bine de un an. Crearea sa s-a produs la câteva luni după cea a coloniei Jamestown Settlement, care a fost fondată la 14 iunie 1607 de către Virginia Company of London, continuând să existe permanent în comitatul James City, Virginia ca prima aşezare permanent locuită din Statele Unite ale Americii de astăzi. Colonia Popham a fost prima colonie engleză din regiunea care urma să devină cunoscută drept Noua Anglie, în original New England. Abandonarea coloniei după doar un an s-a produs, foarte probabil, datorită unei schimbări în conducerea familiei şi, deci, a unei alte perspective, şi nu unei încercări nereuşite de colonizare din Lumea Nouă. Un argument important, care subliniază teoria anterioară, este pierderea de vieţi umane, care a fost sensibil mai redusă în cazul Popham faţă de Jamestown, în aceiaşi perioadă de timp, 1607 - 1608. The first ship built by the English in the New World was completed during the year of the Popham Colony and was sailed back across the Atlantic Ocean to England. The pinnace, named Virginia of Sagadahoc, was apparently quite seaworthy, and crossed the Atlantic again successfully in 1609 as part of Sir Christopher Newport's 9 vessel Third Supply mission to Jamestown. The tiny Virginia survived a massive three day storm enroute which was thought to have been a hurricane and which wrecked the mission's large new flagship Sea Venture on Bermuda. The exact site of the Popham Colony was lost until its rediscovery in 1994. Much of this historical location is now part of Maine's Popham Beach State Park.
