Trivia

A full-scale reproduction of the Mayflower was constructed on a sound stage located at 1725-1735 Fleming St. (now Hoover St.) in the Silver Lake district of Hollywood. The site, originally home to the Lubin and Kalem film companies, has been acquired by Charles Ray in 1922, and he had constructed a state-of-the-art sound stage with a tank specifically for this film. When Ray's company went bankrupt, the studio changed hands several times (Monogram purchased it in 1942) and it is now owned by KCET, the Los Angeles station of the Public Broadcasting System.

12 March 2017 | by (valparaiso, in) – See all my reviews

enjoyed this wonderful old film. It was maybe a bit ahead of it's time. People were not able to able to appreciate the progressiveness at the time and din't want the change that was given here. Never the less it was well done for it's time. good acting and nice cinematography for the era. Enjoyed the film!
