Now we can all update our Haworth records to state:

 

“George Haworth sailed to America on the ship Britannia; commanded by

 Richard Nicholls and departing Liverpool, England, on or about 18 May 1699.

 After a short stop in Cork, Ireland, on 20 May to take on provisions, the

 Britannia continued to America, arriving at Philadelphia on 24 August 1699.

 

Of course, for complete accuracy we should note that George Haworth

 disembarked at Whorekill (now Lewes, Delaware) to visit his sister, while the

 Britannia continued on to Philadelphia. An additional nine passengers were

 left ashore at Elsinborough (now Elsinboro), New Jersey, a day or two later.
