Row brews over claims to Mayflower

Plymouth has long it was from there that the Pilgrim Fathers on board the Mayflower sailed in the sixteen hundreds

But now a group in Harwich have said they deserve more of the credit. Malcolm Robertson reports.

An Essex town has launched a campaign to reclaim the Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth.

Campaigners in Harwich are fed up with Plymouth taking all the credit for the Mayflower - the ship that sailed to America to create a new colony in 1620.

The ship's captain named the landing point in America Plymouth Rock, meaning the Devon city has since been linked to the founding of modern America.

But now a group in the Essex town says it's Harwich which should be credited as the home of the world famous ship.
