Wicked Pilgrim Mayflower II Heritage Series Continues
Friday, July 17th, 12 noon EST
Journey to Brixham, England, and its world famous shipyard with author Randal Charlton for an online talk on Friday, July 17 at noon highlighting the important roles Stuart Upham and the craftsmen at his shipyard played in building a replica of the Mayflower in 1957. This event is part of a series of talks about how the beloved Mayflower II came into being, during this year's 400th commemoration of the Mayflower journey and founding of Plymouth Settlement.
Author of the “The Wicked Pilgrim – The True Story of the Englishman Who Gave Mayflower II to America,” Randal will include rarely seen photos and video clips about this fascinating story and the Brixham shipyard. "You know we can do it...This is the place to build her," Upham confidently told Warwick Charlton and a partnership was born. “The ship Upham’s team built is now regarded as a national treasure in the United States,” said Charlton. “In the 60 plus years since Mayflower II sailed across the Atlantic, more than 25 million Americans had walked aboard and inspected the work of these Devon craftsmen. The little ship has a strong emotional pull on American and is part of its foundational history that connects to Great Britain.”
