The attached picture is from my original painting which tries to capture the scene described in Bradford's account. Please feel free to use this or any other image from my Mayflower paintings in any manner you want. This includes printing or for illustrating your web-site to give it more impact. Please give me proper credit, listing my name as the original artist and my contact information.
It is worth noting that many other similar small ships crossed the Atlantic during the 17th century, carrying passengers to the New World. They are less well-known than the Mayflower, yet they would have experienced similar conditions. These include the Fortune, the Anne, the Sparrowhawk and the Little James.
