history.

In
the U.S. Rotunda: Historical
Paintings
Embarkation
of the Pilgrims
was commissioned in 1837 and placed in 1844. Painted by
Robert W. Weir, it depicts the Pilgrims on the deck of
the ship Speedwell as they depart Delfshaven in South Holland on July
22, 1620. The Pilgrims traveled aboard the
Speedwell to Southampton. There they met
additional colonists and transferred to the
Mayflower.
The
painting shows William Brewster, holding the Bible, and
pastor John Robinson leading Governor Carver, William
Bradford, Miles Standish, and their families in prayer.
The rainbow, at the left side of the painting,
symbolizes hope and divine protection. |

The
Mayflower House Museum:
A
significant accomplishment of the General Society of
Mayflower Descendants was the purchase, in 1941, of the
Edward Winslow House in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The grounds host the historic eighteenth century
dwelling built by Edward Winslow. Behind this
stately mansion are the offices and library of the
General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Edward
Winslow, the great-grandson of Edward Winslow, third
Governor of Plymouth Colony, constructed the
house. |
