EDITORS COMMENTS
A Grand Celebration of History: Mayflower Anniversary in Plymouth, Devon, 1920 This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era as the people of Plymouth, Devon, England, come together to honor the 300th anniversary of the historic voyage of the Mayflower. The image showcases a colorful procession of locals dressed as pilgrims, proudly marching down the street, transporting us back to the 17th century. Their costumes, complete with tall hats, brown coats, and sturdy shoes, reflect the determination and resilience of the early settlers who embarked on the Mayflower's journey to the New World in 1620. The Mayflower, a symbol of nautical history and the beginning of American pioneer culture, set sail from Plymouth's South Coast with a group of brave souls seeking a new life in the Americas. This photograph, taken on this significant anniversary, commemorates their daring departure and the indelible impact they had on history. Lord Reading, the Lord Chief Justice, adds a touch of grandeur to the celebration by laying the foundation stone for the new Salvation Army Hall. Named after the Mayflower, this building stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Pilgrims and their unforgettable journey across the Atlantic. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the rich history that connects us to the past and inspires us to continue exploring the world around us.
