I did it i translated the whole song into Old English

This is what Anglo-Saxon scholars do with their ancient knowledge

I may have missed some diacritics, don’t worry too much about them

there might be some grammatical errors in here since I was working rather quickly and didn’t proofread

enjoy!

Good Harbor & Pleasant Bay.

"...we put round again for the bay of Cape Cod. And upon the 11th of November we came to an anchor in the bay, which is a good harbor and pleasant bay, circled round...It is a harbor wherein a thousand sail of ships may safely ride." - Mourt's Relation.
