The caption reads: The Sailing of the Mayflower and Speedwell from Southampton. Southampton is a port town in southern England. Both vessels left in 1620 bound for the New World, but the Speedwell was found to be taking on water, and after repairs continued to do so and so was unable to continue. The Mayflower sailed across the Atlantic and landed in what is now Massachusetts.
