- May 23 - Jamestown, Virginia: Acting as temporary Governor, Thomas Gates, along with John Rolfe, Ralph Hamor, Sir George Somers, and other survivors from the Sea Venture (wrecked at Bermuda) arrive at Jamestown; they find 60 have survived the "starving time" (during winter): the fort palizadoes and gates are torn down, and empty houses have been used for firewood, in fear of attacks by natives outside the fort area.

Undated

- By this year, the Portuguese colony of Brazil had either four hundred mills producing 57,000 tons of sugar a year, or only two hundred and thirty mills producing 14,000 tons of sugar a year; accepting either figure depends on which expert you believe is more accurate, according to Alfred W. Crosby Jr. on page 69 of his book The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492. In any case, the incredible wealth the Portuguese acquired from selling sugar in Europe prompted the English and French to follow suit in this century.
