Caption: 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.
