On Bradford’s Trail: Delftshaven

Bradford and the Pilgrims left the Netherlands from Delftshaven. Today it a quaint street with an historic feel
The harbor is lined with old ships, mostly dating from around 1900.
A nearby house which (if I recall correctly) dated to the Pilgrims’ time
The Pilgrim Fathers Church was later renamed in the Pilgrims’ honor. It was here in 1620, but the facade is newer.
This windmill stands at the end of the street. Although it was built after the Pilgrims’ time, they would not have had to look far to see one like this
