'The Last of the Mayflower' is a 1920 work by James Rendel Harris that looks at the fate of the ’Mayflower’, an English ship that transported early Pilgrims to the New World in 1620. The ship has since become an important part of North American history and culture, as well as the subject of innumerable works of art, plays, films, poems, songs, books, etc. This book concentrates on what happened to the ’Mayflower’ following its successful landing in the New World, including what became of the famed ship. Highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of the Unites States. Contents include: 'The Migration of the Leyden Pilgrims', 'Three Letters of John Elior and a Bill of Lading of the ’Mayflower’', 'The ’Mayflower’ in the East Indies', 'The ’Mayflower’ as Whaler', 'Mr. Marsden’s Theory of the Two Pilgrim ’Mayflowers’', 'Mr’s Webber’s ’Mayflower’', 'Mr Vassall’s ’Mayflower’', etc. James Rendel Harris (1852-1941) was an English curator of manuscripts and biblical scholar famous for bringing numerous Syriac Scriptures and other early documents back to light.
