The British and American flags mark the dock where the Mayflower left England for American in 1620. The dock is in the city of Plymouth, which is in the historic county of Devon, England.
It was 16 September 1620 when 102 passengers and crew boarded the three-masted ship, which was about 100 feet long.
The journey had begun in the summer in London at Rotherhithe on the Thames but there were complications along the way with the second ship, the Speedwell.
It was 19 November 1620 when they saw what is now Cape Cod. Eventually, they landed at Plimoth in Massachusetts USA 21 December 1620.
Near the dock, you can stock up on Mayflower gifts.
