This plaque in the historical coastal city of Plymouth commemorates where In 1620 our Pilgrim fathers walked through the Pilgrims Point Archway ,stepped onto the Mayflower & sailed to the New World.
The Plaque reads:
On the 6th of September 1620, the Mayorality of Thomas Townes after being kindly entertained and courteously used by divers Friends there dwelling, the Pilgrim Fathers sailed from Plymouth in the Mayflower in the Providence of God to settle in New Plymouth and to lay the foundations of the New England States The ancient Cawsey whence they embarked was destroyed not many Years afterwards but the Site of their Embarkation is marked by the Stone bearing the name of the MAYFLOWER in the pavement of the adjacent Pier.
The Tablet was erected in the Mayoralty of J T Bond 1891, to commemorate the Departure, and the visit to Plymouth in July of that Year of a number of their Descendants and Representatives |

So this is where the Mayflower sailed from! In school we were only ever told of the arrival, never the departure. | margaretvn Sun May 15, 2005 11:10 UTC

Never did understand why your lot left from Plymouth. You can get the big ships from Southampton... just down the road a bit. I never saw the sign. good observation. Cheers, Ian |
