Rather than the Atlantic crossing itself, this scene focuses on the farewell, the moment a group of English separatists said goodbye before a voyage that would take them to the New World. Their congregation had first settled in Leiden in the Dutch Republic, and the 1620 departure marked the start of a journey that would end on the coast of Cape Cod. Nineteenth-century American painters often returned to these emotional partings, casting the travelers as devout and determined founders of a nation. The picture is as much a record of how Americans later remembered the Pilgrims as it is of the historical departure.
