Mayflower's Dawn

Mayflower's Dawn - By Dr Mike Haywood

The Mayflower at dawn on the 11th November 1620, as she is about to anchor for the first time after her arduous voyage in what is now called Provincetown harbor. All is peace and calm after the trials of the voyage. The symbolism of the new dawn, giving fresh hope to the exhausted passengers and crew is clear. The reflected path of the sunlight falls upon the longboat, which is just about to be launched for the first exploratory trip to the nearby land.
