The painting depicts Mary Chilton stepping ashore. According to family tradition (although this is without historical foundation), Mary was the first person to set foot on Plymouth Rock. Mary was the 15-year-old daughter of James and Susanna Chilton, both of whom died in the first winter; she married John Winslow in 1624.
