The Welcome Claimants - McCracken, pg 1 The Welcome was the 18th of 23 ships to reach the infant port of Philadelphia. ... Early in the month of July 1682 Robert Greenway, master of the "Welcome", began to load his vessel intending to sail to Pennsylvania,1 and preparations for the voyage were reported in various English newspapers of the time.2 pg 2. In the Epitome of the Weekly News No. 2 a dispatch from Deal bearing date of 29 Aug. 1682 appeared: "Being Wednesday, the WInd East North East, William Penn Esq., SOle Proprietor and Governour of Pennsilvania, went on Baord the Welcome, in order to his Voyage for that Province, Accompanied with his Wife and others to Dover Road, where they parted: There are Ships from several ports preparing to go; and likewise another ship from London, on the account of the Society of Traders in Pennsylvania, which is already fallen down to Gravesend, and is to follow after the 10th instant." Another dispatch from Deal was given to the public in the London Gazette No. 1753 on 2 September: "Two days since sailed out of the Downs three ships bound for Pensilvania, on board of which was Mr. Pen with a great many Quakers, who to to settle there." pg 4 In any case, it is certain that the "Welcome" arrived at New Castle, now in Delaware on 27 Oct. 1682, for under the date of the 18th, we find in Book B. page 437 of the "Records of the Court of New Castle on Delaware" [Meadville, Pa., 1935], 2:21, the following: "On the 27th day of October 1682; arrived before ye Towne of New Castle in Delowar from England William Penn Esqr Proprietry: of Penlivania ...ye sd William Penn Received possession of ye Towne of New Castle ye 28th of Octobr 1682" pg 5 A model of the "Welcome", so entitled, made by the late Gustavus Wynne Cook, a descendant of the passenger Dr. Thomas Wynne, is in the Maritime Museum, 427 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and was shown in a photograph printed in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Saturday 19 June 1965 pg.
