There is a popular misconception that the Pilgrim Fathers started their historic journey from Plymouth in England.
Well they didn't - they set off in search of religious freedom from the Immingham docks in Lincolnshire England.
Here in Immingham you will find in pilgrims park near saint Andrew's church the actual memorial that commemorates the occasion.
due to the bad weather when they left Immingham's dock the women and children of the ship took shelter at the church. here they were later arrested (for rebelling against taxation and religion by leaving) and the ship had to set sail without them.
However due to the uproar from the town the children were released and were aloud to travel and reunite with their fathers. They settled in Holland for a while, which they intended, but then left for America here the pilgrim fathers created a place of religious freedom and no corruption.
the memorial reads
"From this creek the Pilgrim Fathers first left England in 1608 in search of religious liberty. The granite top stone was taken from Plymouth Rock Mass and presented by the Sulgrave Institution of USA. This memorial was erected by the Anglo-American Society of Hull 1924".
i hope this is helpful to who ever reads it xx
