EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment of the Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in New England in 1620. The Pilgrims, having braved the treacherous Atlantic Ocean on the Mayflower and several smaller boats, finally reached the shores of America after a grueling 66-day voyage. The scene depicts the Pilgrims disembarking from their ships, with their belongings and supplies in tow, as they set foot on the unfamiliar land that would become their new home. The Pilgrims, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, had originally intended to establish a settlement in Virginia. However, they were forced to land in New England due to unforeseen circumstances. Their arrival marked the beginning of English colonization in North America and the founding of Plymouth Colony, which would eventually grow into the United States of America. This photograph, taken in 1918, is a testament to the enduring significance of the Pilgrims' journey and their role in shaping American history. The image captures the spirit of determination, hope, and resilience that defined the Pilgrims' experience, and continues to inspire generations of Americans and visitors to the New World.
