Berkley Plantation it is, on the James River between Williamsburg and
Richmond, Virginia.  The date of the Thanksgiving given by the Plantation is
December 4, 1619, although I have seen a reference that it was held aboard
the Margaret after their first landfall at the mouth of the James on
November 30.
