This would really be cool if we could be a part of it, well, it would really stink actually literally and metaphorically.....It would really be hard to start a colony by your self with only a little bit of help, plus you got indians attacking you......i mean for real......After World War II, an effort began to reenact the voyage of the Mayflower. With cooperation between Project Mayflower and Plimoth Plantation, an accurate replica of the original (designed by naval architect William A. Baker) was launched September 22, 1956 from Devon, England, and set sail in the spring of 1957. Captained by Alan Villiers, the voyage ended in Plymouth Harbor after 55 days on June 13, 1957 to great acclaim.

That's so cool! I had no idea that there was a reenactment of the Mayflower voyage. Do you know if there has been any other reenactments of any other famous voyages?
