"The Mayflower Story" (1957) - Original Plymouth Plantation Film

In 1957, sailing in a faithful replica of the original "Mayflower, " a hardy crew of adventurers relived the 17th century crossing to bring Americans to permanent historic shrine at Plymouth. Presented by the Aero Mayflower Transit Company of Indianapolis, Indiana.
More than 400 years ago the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, England with just 102 passengers and crew on board with what William Bradford, an English Separatist who became the American Plymouth Colony Governor, called “a prosperous wind.” The original Mayflower was a three-masted ship, most likely between 90 and 110 feet long that transported mostly English Puritans and Separatists (Pilgrims) to the New World.
On November 19th 1620, they sighted land, which is the present-day Cape Cod. After several days of trying to sail south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook. They finally landed and established the colony of Plimoth in the State of Massachusetts on December 21st 1620.

The sound of the music really starts drowning out the narration near 12 minutes in. I wonder if that was always the case or in a "restoration" of the video. Luckily that over powering only lasts a few minutes. In 1957 they still thought they wore those type of clothes and buckles on the hat? Geesh, luckily that faux pas has been corrected and that style of clothes is near a 100 years wrong from what was worn.

I remember watching this on an old reel-to-reel in 1976 when I was in the 4th grade growing up in California😃 Back before the commies destroyed our country🤬
