Lunchtime talk, The Voyage of the Mayflower, Myth and Reality

Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery's building is currently closed for redevelopment. While this is happening, it is running its popular Lunchtime Talks programme at the Plymouth Athenaeum. Come along and enjoy this talk.
We all know a little about the Mayflower and its passengers but what’s the real story and how much is myth? The facts are much more interesting than most people imagine. Why did they sail from Plymouth? Were they the first settlers in North America? Why did they name their settlement Plymouth? They endured huge storms, were almost shipwrecked and even had a birth at sea. And they would not have survived without the help of the Native Indians.

Join Dr Mike Haywood for a talk that is vibrantly illustrated with his marine paintings of the Mayflower voyage. Tickets are £2
