Photographer
G.R. Swain
Description
Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Plymouth Rock, inscribed with the year 1620, is said to mark the landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims in Plymouth when they traveled from England to the American colonies. The rock marks the entrance to Plymouth Harbor and it appears to have been restored by patching a crack in the rock near the year inscription. Water laps the shore where the rock is located and a fence has been installed to keep the rock safe from vandalism. Slide labeled with text, "Made by G.R. Swain, 713 E. University Ave., Ann Arbor, Michigan." Swain was staff photographer at U of M from 1913 to 1947.
