The scene possibly depicts the Pilgrim Fathers landing in the ‘New World’, particularly at Plymouth Rock in 1620. The visual elements support this interpretation:

The central figure in dark clothing and a wide-brimmed hat: This could represent a leader like William Bradford or John Carver, guiding the settlers. Groups of people with belongings, including women and children: This aligns with historical accounts of the Pilgrims arriving with their families. Ships in the background: Possibly representing the Mayflower, the famous vessel that brought the Pilgrims from England to America.
