William Silvester Biography & Facts

Silvester Jourdain (sometimes Sylvester Jourdan) (d. 1650), was an English traveler who became a colonist at the Jamestown, Virginia settlement. During the journey in 1609, a tropical storm caused the ship, the Sea Venture to be run aground on the uninhabited St. George's Island, Bermuda, with Jourdain, George Somers, Thomas Gates, William Strachey, and other settlers marooned for nine months. Silvester authored a pamphlet, A Discovery of the Barmudas, otherwise called the Ile of Divels [sic] (1610) (later part of the publication, A Plaine Description of the Barmudas), which some have attributed as inspiration for William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Silvester died unmarried in the parish of St Sepulchre, in the spring of 1650. He was the son of William Jourdain of Lyme Regis, and a cousin of John Jourdain.
