B. The journey was pleasant, with no storms encountered.
This statement is generally the most accurate description of the first voyage that brought settlers to the new colony if we're talking about the English settlement at Jamestown in 1607. The other options have inaccuracies:
A) The ship that brought the first English settlers to Jamestown was not the Ann but the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery.
C) The journey did not last nearly a year, and it did not conclude in Georgia in 1776 - Jamestown was settled in 1607 in what is now Virginia.
D) The passengers were not all very wealthy; many were artisans, craftsmen, and laborers looking for new opportunities.
