thied Posted July 14, 2010 #718 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Here is an image of the memorial to the pilgrim fathers who set out in the Mayflower.It stands on the waterfront in Southampton. Its very big and it would have been a huge thing for the mayflower in its day,The vessel left England on September 6, 1620, after a grueling 66-day journey marked by disease, which claimed two lives, the ship dropped anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod, The Mayflower was originally destined for the mouth of the Hudson River, near present-day New York City, at the northern edge of England's Virginia colony, which itself was established with the 1607 Jamestown Settlement.[3] However, the Mayflower went off course as the winter approached, and remained in Cape Cod Bay. On March 21/31, 1621, all surviving passengers, who had inhabited the ship during the winter, moved ashore at Plymouth, and on April 5/15, the Mayflower, a privately commissioned vessel, returned to England.[1] In 1623, a year after the death of captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower was most likely dismantled for scrap lumber in Rotherhithe, London.[4] The Mayflower has a famous place in American history as a symbol of early European colonization of the future US. With their religion oppressed by the English Church and government,[5] the small party of religious Puritan separatists who comprised about half of the passengers on the ship desired a life where they could practice their religion freely. This symbol of religious freedom resonates in US society and the story of the Mayflower is a staple of any American history textbook. Americans whose roots are traceable back to New England often believe themselves to be descended from Mayflower passengers.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted July 14, 2010 #719 Share Posted July 14, 2010 There's heaps of history in Southampton Thied. Wonder how many of us have links to the boat train that ended up at the wharves, boarded a ship, then off to a new life Downunder? In some ways, Southampton is our Heritage.

Gaznjo Posted July 14, 2010 Author #720 Share Posted July 14, 2010 we don't go to southampton next year, we go to dover.... the only downside for us is that Garry's sister lives near salisbury which is much closer to southampton than it is to dover...( 3 hours I think...)
