Journal for Friday morning, July 27


Plymouth Rock "Shrine"


Plymouth Rock with my student's stapler nearby
(I took it on my travels as a joke, and sent pictures of it
to her as a travelogue of its adventures)


Mayflower II at harbor


Top deck of Mayflower II


Captain Christopher Jones' cabin


The Geneva Bible on board


The navigational chart they used back then (reset each day after noting in Capt's log)


'Tween decks (Middle level) where the Pilgrims stayed on their journey


The massive beams required to support the masts and spars above ship


A privacy area built on the 'tween decks in order to accommodate a Pilgrim family's sleeping quarters 
and their few possessions
