All at sea ...

Work in progress at the moment on a picture of The Mayflower which sailed from Plymouth in 1620 carrying the Pilgrim Fathers.  Apparently there were four ships with the same name so it's difficult for historians to establish which one actually sailed to America.  My stamp collage  depicts a three masted ship with a high platform aft similar in appearance to a galleon. Artistic licence allows me to include stamps from all over the world and elements such as fish and coral not necessarily native to the seas she crossed!   Stamps commemmorating the Mayflower have been issued by countries including Hungary, Mali, Great Britain,  USA and many others.
