Happy Mayflower Day Mayflower Day celebrates the date the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, England to America. On September 16, 1620, 102 men, women, and children set sail from Plymouth, England. Their destination was the New World, where they could have religious freedom, and continue using their native language, culture, and customs. Every Mayflower Day, we commemorate these brave, early settlers. They were the very first immigrants, and helped to pave the way for millions more to follow, in search of freedom and the dreams and promises of a New World.
They dont make ships like that any more. there is a ship similar to that which has been restored to its former glory and is on show to the public in Bristol in the UK. gorgeous it is. Happy Mayflower day to us all.
