S5E14: "Giving Thanks: The Mayflower II project as a symbol of post-War trans-Atlantic relations"Richard Stone literally wrote the book on the 1950s Mayflower II project, which saw two groups--one British and one American--simultaneously work to create a replica of the ship which ferried the Pilgrim Separatists from England to America in 1620. We discuss the context of this project both through the historical lens as well as a geopolitical one, as the wooden ship ended up being a symbol of the Cold War "special relationship" between the World War allies Great Britain and the United States.You can find Richard's book Project Mayflower: Building and Sailing a 17th-Century Replica wherever books are sold, (including your local bookstore).#podcast #mayflower #mayflowerii #history #1950s #coldwar #britishhistory #americanhistory #modernhistory
