Plymouth - Barbican

On the Mayflower Steps, which is a gateway built in memory of the Pilgrim Fathers, there is a mooring-place for ships crossing over to Drake's Island. A short distance away there is a memorial tablet commemorating the arrival of the British aviators Alcock and Brown, who in 1919 became the first persons to cross the Atlantic in a seaplane.

Following Plymouth's Madeira Road, we come to the old harbor, Sutton Pool. Pleasure ships offering excursions around the harbor and Plymouth Sound dock here at Phoenix Wharf.

The Elizabethan House is situated on the Barbican in Plymouth. It is a National Trust property containing a wealth of Elizabethan furniture and furnishings. The home has been restored to reflect the life of an Elizabethan merchant or sea captain.
