Ships in
Harbor (Dutch seascape) |
The ships shown in this seascape are the approximate size of the Pilgrims' ill-fated ship, the Speedwell. The Pilgrims sailed from Delftshaven, Holland, to England, in the Speedwell. The group intended to sail both the Speedwell and the Mayflower to America, but the Speedwell developed leaks and was judged not sufficiently sound for a transatlantic voyage.
