We arrived home late this afternoon from our holiday in Devon and these are two of the photos i took in Plymouth just yesterday which i thought might interest you.These are two photos of the exact point from which the Mayflower departed.I've added a little piece of history which i'm sure that most of you will already know.Please check out the downloads.
The Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth on the Mayflower on 6 September 1620, eventually landing and settling in present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts.The Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth on the Mayflower on 6 September 1620, eventually landing and settling in present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The colony became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in what was to become the United States of America.

Wow Jim. I knew where they are believed to have landed here but I never really thought about the exact location where they embarked. That is also a very wild looking fish sculpture!
