EDITORS COMMENTS
A New World Begins: The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers (1620) This evocative image captures the historic moment of the Pilgrim Fathers' landing in the New World on the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the year 1620. The Pilgrims, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, had embarked on a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean aboard the Mayflower, braving the unknown to establish a new life in a land that would later become the United States of America. As the Mayflower anchored in the bay, the Pilgrims, including men, women, and children, braved the cold waters to wade ashore. Huddled around a fire on the beach, they welcomed the arrival of their fellow travelers, who had also braved the treacherous crossing. The Pilgrims' determination and resilience in the face of adversity set the stage for the founding of Plymouth Colony, the second English settlement in North America after Jamestown. The Pilgrims were Calvinists, religious dissenters who sought to separate themselves from the Church of England. Their journey was not driven by commercial interests but by their deep-rooted desire for religious freedom and the establishment of a community based on their faith. The image of the Pilgrims huddled around a fire on the beach serves as a poignant reminder of their unwavering commitment to their beliefs and their new beginning in a land that would offer them the freedom to practice their faith as they saw fit. This powerful image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of the Pilgrims' historic landing and the start of a new chapter in the history of the New World.
