      The Mayflower Steps are a landmark in Plymouth's Barbican Quarter. They mark the place where the Pilgrim Fathers boarded the Mayflower in 1620 before crossing the Atlantic to settle in North America. The traditional place of their disembarkation in North America is Plymouth Rock. The Mayflower Steps consist of a portico with Doric columns of Portland stone that was built in 1934, and a small platform over the water with a steel railing and a shelf with bronze artwork and historical information. It is on a small pier which was probably built in the 18th or 19th century when some of the old houses blocking the construction of a road around the sea front from the Royal Citadel to Plymouth Hoe were demolished along with the important Guard House.
