    1. Re: [WGS] Picture of the "Welcome" Ship
    2. Cool! This reminds me of something that may interest this group. My mother, Evelyn Abraham Benson, during the 1930s while doing research at the Historical Society of PA found the recipes that were sent over with William Penn on the Welcome. His wife had his secretary Edward Blackfan transcribe them. In the 1960s mother who could read the old English script, transcribed the recipes and wrote a biography of Julielma Maria Springett Penn. These were published as Penn Family Recipes. The book is now out of print. However, I do have some copies, some with, dust jackets, some witout, none absolutely pristine. If you want one let me know and I'll describe what is available to you and figure out a price. Someone used the recipes and developed modern measurements and ingredients to create the same dishes. I don't recall the exact title of that book. Both used to be for sale at Pennsbury. I was told there is a restaurant at Penns Landing that on Charter Day serves dishes made from the recipes. All the Best to All of You, Susannah Watterson Benson PS Someone asked me about my Benson origins: English of Snow Hill, Maryland is my understanding. I do have all of the data that my aunt, my father's sister, used to get into the DAR. I don't know the source origins. For the record the DAR was anathema in our family after the Marian Anderson incident. I'm making an assumption here that all of us Wynne folk with our Quaker origins or interested in equality and justice for all.

It is the same as the picture I have shared of the ship Endeavour, as the Ship Welcome was the same type of ship.
