the Mayflower memorial in Southampton, England
This Mayflower memorial is directly across the road from the Mayflower park. The park is right next to the water, so if you're going to/from a cruise ship or a ferry, you should (if you look properly) see this memorial on the north side of the road. There is also a Southampton east of New York City. Taken on Wednesday 08/June/2016.
Pilgrim Fathers' Memorial, Southampton (1913)
The Pilgrim Fathers' Memorial (or Mayflower Memorial) was designed by R.M. Lucas, made and erected by Garret and Haysom, and unveiled by the U.S. Ambassador, Dr William Hines Page, in August 1913. The monument consists of a 50 ft high column of Portland Stone on a base, surmounted by a cupola and a copper model of the Mayflower. It commemorates the sailing of the Pilgrim Fathers to America in the Mayflower and Speedwell in 1620.
RMS Titanic The Mayflower Theatre Slideshow Southampton April 2018
This video slideshow is a tribute to all those who lost their lives when the White Star Line RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on the 15th April 1912 while on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. This year is the 106 anniversary of that fateful voyage and a musical production telling was put on at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre from Thursday 12th April until the 21st April 2018.
I hope you do enjoy watching this slideshow and remember all those who perished and survived this terrible disaster while Titanic was at sea, most of the ships crew came from Southampton.
The large model of Titanic that you see in this video was built by the theatre's own carpenter as I was told and was built in sections which took just over a week to complete to be ready to be placed on top of the main entrance to the theatre.

Southampton's Medieval Gateway the 'Bargate'
The Bargate was built c. 1180, constructed of stone and flint. Alterations were made to the building around 1290, when large drum towers were added to the north side, with arrow slit windows. A two-storey extension was made to the south side towards the end of the 13th century, with four windows lighting the upstairs room. Work was also carried out to the interior of the upper room during the 13th century, when the stone fireplaces were installed. The embattled north front was added to the building around 1400. A survey of the town's guns in 1468 reported that the Bargate held two breach loader guns and a brass muzzle loader. At some point in the 16th century the Court leet of southampton started to meet in the bargate. In 1605, the city's curfew and alarm bell was added to the southwest corner of the building. In the middle of the four windows is a statue of George III in Roman dress, which in 1809 replaced a wooden statue of Queen Anne. The statue was a gift to the town from John Petty, 2nd Marquess of Lansdowne.
The room above the gate itself has known several uses. It was originally used as the city's guildhall, until the 1770s. It was at this point that the city began to grow to the north of the gate. Also during the 18th century, five panels containing painted shields and the sundial were added to the building.
Additional archways were added in 1764 and 1774. In 1765, a passage was cut through the eastern side of the arch for pedestrians. A further passage through the western side was added later.
The bargate continued to be the site of meetings of southampton's court leet until 1856. Following the establishment of Southampton's police force in February 1836, the upper room was used as a prison but by 1899, the increase in road traffic and the introduction of trams led to proposals for its demolition. It was reprieved at a subsequent council meeting but the issue arose again in 1914 and 1923. The Bargate was however eventually separated from the adjoining town walls in the 1930s using a scheme previously suggested in 1900. Around this time Portland cement was used in works on the bargate. This was later to cause problems as it trapped water within the structure damaging the stones. The monument again served as the police headquarters for the city during the Second World War.[18] In 1951 a museum of local history was opened in the Bargate as part of celebrations to mark the Festival of Britain. The museum later closed.
Between 2006 and 2012, following refurbishment funded by the South East England Development Agency, the upper room served as The Bargate Monument Gallery, during which time 42 exhibitions featuring the work of over 250 artists were staged here.
In 2016 the Portland cement mortar that had been used on the structure in the 1930s was removed and replaced with lime mortar. At the same time the parapet was waterproofed to prevent further water entering the structure.

Southampton Town Walls & Western Esplanade
West Quay and West Gate - This area was known as the West Quay, and was the busiest part of Southampton. The Quay stretched out into the river Test, where ships unloaded their cargo. This was still part of the shore until the 1920s, when land was reclaimed to build the western docks. Imported goods from all over Europe were unloaded in the area, including wine. Wool was the main export commodity to depart from here. It was from this quay that the Pilgrim Fathers actually left Southampton to go to America in 1620, in the Mayflower and Speedwell; however, due to the Speedwell's poor condition, it was abandoned at Plymouth, and the Mayflower travelled to America alone.
The Westgate was built in 1380, and was the only access to the Quay from the town. Inside the gate was a double portcullis; 'murder holes', where weapons can be dropped from above; and cannon. The angled gun ports are quite rare in England. This gate was the second most important in the town, after the Bargate. It was through this gate that Edward III and his bowmen left for France and the Battle of Crecy in 1346; and in 1415 Henry V passed through with his troops to embark on the second largest fleet ever assembled at Southampton en route for France and the Battle of Agincourt. Only the fleet assembled for D-Day was bigger. The Pilgrim Fathers also passed through this gate.

Mayflower 400 - Southampton Launch Video
Southampton and the Mayflower story
The Mayflower arrived in Southampton in late July 1620 and several days later was joined by the Speedwell, carrying the Pilgrims from Leiden. Their intention was to prepare both vessels and sail in company directly to America.
Southampton was a thriving seaport offering all the commercial facilities to provision and equip for the long sea voyage. Many of the buildings and streets familiar to the Pilgrims then still exist.
The town had established trading links with Virginia and Newfoundland, so there was an experienced pool of seamen who had previously made the dangerous Atlantic crossing. John Alden, a cooper, joined the Mayflower and it is thought William Brewster also slipped aboard here, having been in hiding after publishing material that angered King James.
Stephen Hopkins from Hampshire also joined here and is known as the only Mayflower passenger with prior New World experience, having been shipwrecked in Bermuda in 1609.
There were already concerns about the Speedwell, which required repairs after developing a leak. But on 15 August the two ships weighed anchor and set sail.
Southampton was an ideal place to start the voyage for many reasons. The water is one of the world’s largest natural harbours and offers a safe anchorage, plus its unique double tide provides easy access for 16 hours out of every 24.
Southampton was a true Sea Town (now Sea City since 1964) with all requirements for the preparation of a maritime adventure. Extensive quays and wharfs provided easy access to the commercial facilities in what was and still is a very successful trading port.
Although there was much local trade from the surrounding counties; Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex as well as France and the Channel Isles, there were also trading links with Virginia and Newfoundland. This meant that there was an experienced pool of seamen who had previously made the difficult and dangerous Atlantic crossing.
John Alden, a cooper, joined Mayflower here and a George Alden who could well have been his father lived in the high street. The town records show that the Council were ordered to press 100 seamen and mariners for the Royal Navy in July perhaps a good enough reason to sign on to the Mayflower’s crew.
The Speedwell was found to be leaking and it was thought at the time that she may have had too large a mast and sail area. The extensive ship building and repair facilities near West Quay were very useful in expediting repairs.
According to Southampton’s Book of Instruments records, a ship called Speedwell was built locally in 1606 and this may have been the vessel that returned to her home port.
However, the most important benefit to the expedition was the availability of all the supplies required, not only for the voyage but to establish a permanent community in the New World. It is thought that the Pilgrims and settlers shopped during the day and slept back on board both ships. These were supposedly anchored just off West Quay.
In 1620, there were 153 Merchants in the Town of whom 118 were engaged partially or wholly in the wool trade but the balance would have been able to provide all the other items required for self-sufficiency.
When the Mayflower and Speedwell left together on that fateful Saturday 15 August after a fraught and hectic stay they could not have imagined that their persistence would lead to the founding of New England.
Southampton has extensive records pertaining to the Pilgrims which can be found in the city archives.

A HISTORY OF THE MAYFLOWER
A HISTORY OF THE MAYFLOWER. The Mayflower was a three-masted ship, most likely between 90 and 110 feet long, that carried the people who came to be known a Pilgrims from England to Plymouth in 1620.
The ship was hired in London, and sailed from London to Southampton in July 1620 to begin loading food and supplies for the voyage--much of which was purchased at Southampton.
The Mayflower left Holland on 31 July 1620, joining the Speedwell in Southampton, England, for the voyage to

The Port of Southampton is a major passenger and cargo port located in the central part of the south coast of England. It has been an important port since the Roman occupation of Britain nearly two thousand years ago, and has a multifaceted history. From the Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century, it was a centre for naval shipbuilding and a departure point for soldiers going to war. The port also played a role in the development of hovercraft, flying boat services, seaplanes and the Spitfire fighter plane. Before the advent of jet travel, Southampton was Britain's gateway to the world. The port also played a minor role in the history of Britain's canals.
RMS Titanic is, as of the time of its construction, the largest ship ever built, nearly 900 feet long and 25 stories high. The pride of J. Bruce Ismay and the White Star Line, this elegant 46,000-ton luxury ocean liner was launched in April 1912 with sixteen watertight compartments in the lower section which can be sealed individually with the intention that the mighty ship remain afloat even on collision with another vessel, providing plenty of time to summon assistance with the state-of-the-art five kilowatt Marconi wireless telegraph apparatus.
This magnificent steamship, constructed at an estimated cost of £1,564,000 and travelling with an 885-person crew, is equipped with every luxury and built to serve a clientèle which includes many famous millionaires. Titanic's maximum total capacity is 3547 passengers, her port of registry is Liverpool. She carries the sixteen lifeboats required by regulations and an additional four collapsible lifeboats; these twenty boats can carry a combined maximum of 1098 people.
Trans-Atlantic travel is offered in first, second and third-class price ranges, with the first class offering the most extensive amenities: a squash court, gymnasium, Turkish bath, heated salt-water swimming pool, deck games such as ring toss or shuffleboard, a fully stocked library, a variety of cafés and lounges, and dining halls where first class passengers may dine in opulence. Even the facilities in third class are excellent compared to those of other ocean liners of the era.
One way fares for the trans-Atlantic crossing (1912 currency) are a not-insubstantial £870 for a First Class parlour suite, £30 for a First Class berth, £12 for Second Class and a somewhat more economical £3 to £8 for Third Class. Constructed by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, the RMS Titanic departs Southampton to speed the well-to-do and many emigrants on their way toward New York City. The maiden voyage in April 1912 will have 2,228 people on board including notables such as John Jacob Astor, the wealthiest man in the world.

Oasis of the Seas maiden visit to Southampton Docks - 15/10/2014
In 2008, Southampton was meant to receive a visit from the world's largest cruise ship - Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas, however the vessel only anchored out in The Solent between Portsmouth & Ryde and never came into Southampton.
On Wednesday 15th October 2014 however, that changed when Oasis of the Seas sailed up Southampton Water and docked at Berth 101/The 'City' Terminal around 10:00. She had departed Rotterdam the previous evening having completed a major refit and was due to depart Southampton at midnight heading back to the United States and the Caribbean.
Three other ships were also in Southampton which offered size comparisons with the giant RCI ship. These were Saga Holidays' Saga Sapphire at the 'QEII' Terminal who later departed at 16:00. P&O Cruises' Azura at the 'Ocean' Terminal who departed just after 16:30 and finally MSC Cruises' MSC Magnifica at the 'Mayflower' Terminal departing around 18:30.
