Plymouth, England was the final departure point of the Pilgrims on their voyage to the New World. It was also a very important city in the history of New World exploration.

And a mystery location…. Any guesses as to where it might be? It’s not commonly associated with the Pilgrims, but I am researching the possibility that they visited
