Mayflower Commemorative
Stone Tablet on the Barbican, Plymouth, England
On
the 6th of September, 1620, in the Mayorality of Thomas Towers,
after
being "kindly entertained and coureously used by divers
Friends
here dwelling", the Pilgrim Fathers sailed from
Plymouth
in the Mayflower, in the Providence of God to
settle
in NEW PLYMOUTH, and to lay the Foundation
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. This Tablet was erected
in the
Mayorality of J. T. Bond 1891, to commemorate
their
Departure, and the visit to Plymouth in July
of that
year of a number of their Descendants and
Represenatives.
