Roanoke Island Festival Park is just across the bridge from downtown Manteo. Docked there is the Elizabeth II, the elaborately constructed replica of a fantastic and detail-perfect example of the ship that brought the original colonists to Manteo. The ship can be explored in person during the prime summer months, guided by costumed interpreters, or can be admired by anyone who strolls along the downtown Manteo docks. Stationed right in the front of The Tranquil House, the Elizabeth II is an unmistakable and alluring site to any guest.
