About Mayflower
Mayflower was an English square-rigged merchant sailing ship, active from before 1609 until 1622. Her tonnage was 180+, and she was 110 feet long and 25 feet in the beam, with several decks. She was notable in that she transported a group of English families, known today as the Pilgrims, from England to the New World in 1620.

The Mayflower 2, when that originally went out in the 1950s, they had problems on the way, and they had to divert, and during the diversion, they went across Bermuda, and they almost sank. So it could have been a Bermuda Triangle casualty.

It was a trimoran outrigger, tiny thing. It looks like Thunderbird 3, I thought. They didn't make much of an effort, yeah. I think there was a suggestion before they made it that, oh, should we make another replica of the Mayflower and send it across? Then they decided, no, let's try and do something for the next few centres. That's looking to the past if we did that, had another replica.

He's a bit like John Goodman who's in every good movie. He was, for ages, whenever there was a best picture, he was in Argo and he was in The Artist and he was in everything, wasn't he? Never had a main part. Do you know, James, that is unbelievably weird that you've just said that because a John Goodman was on board the Mayflower. No! Was it the same guy?
