Originally posted by znshotrue, it originally sailed from southampton, but had to go back to port. it sailed from southampton a second time but yet again had to return. the third time it left from pllymouth and made it.
PS: the Mayflower originally sailed from SOUTHAMPTON not Plymouth. USA citizens have been misinformed.
so for the voyage, it left from plymouth...
Originally posted by geniusDon't have any idea where it sailed from, but I can tell you that it sailed to Plymouth Massachusetts. They have a rock there to prove it 😉, not to mention a ship named Mayflower II which has some of the wood from the original ship built into it.

Originally posted by geniusHm!!! That's not what I have been taught. I have been led to believe that it sailed from Southampton, hit bad weather, sailed back to Plymouth then set off again.

Most USA citizens I talk to don't know anything about Southampton being involved - that's why I mentioned it, 'cos I support Saints.

Independence Day, truly a day to celebrate.

Happy Ear-defenders day USA! I think it's great how you celebrate the need for health and safety in the workplace - the rest of the world should take note!

Originally posted by monster truckThe rock is a bit of a letdown if you've never seen it before. Not nearly as big as you'd expect (or at least as I expected). Are you from the area or were you visiting? If you are local, let me know. I'm on the Cape and would love some OTB games against a RHP player if it can be arranged.
