From
Phil Knox, whose ancestor arrived in America on this type of ship: "This is a
drawing of a type of ship common in the 18th century called a “snow.” A
particular English “snow” by the name of “Samuel” left Rotterdam,
Holland, made a stop at the port of Deal, England, and arrived in Philadelphia (after
sailing up the Delaware) on August 17, 1733 . . . ." |
