Oude Kerk
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.

Oude Haven
The Oude Haven area, near the Blaak train, metro and tram station, preserves the oldest part of the harbour, some of which dates from the 14th century. It's a decent place for a stroll, especially if you take time to look at the large collection of historic boats.
