Lonely Planet review

One of Rotterdam's few districts to survive the war, Delfshaven was once the official seaport for the city of Delft. A reconstructed 18th-century windmill overlooks the water at Voorhaven 210. One of the area's claims to fame is that it was where the Pilgrims left Holland for America aboard the Speedwell . They could barely keep the leaky boat afloat and, in England, eventually transferred to the Mayflower - the rest is history.

The Oude Kerk on Voorhaven is where the Pilgrims prayed for the last time before leaving on 22 July 1620.
