Today's Moment to Remember

On this date, September 16, in 1620, the Mayflower ship, with 102 Puritans (also known as Pilgrims) from England aboard, departed from Plymouth, England for the New World (America).  The ship was planning to sail for Virginia, but storms and navigation errors caused it to get off course and land more than 500 miles to the north in Massachusetts.  After 66 days of sailing they arrived and established the Plymouth Colony on December 21, 1620.

Slice of Americana

On this date, September 16, in 1984, the TV series Miami Vice makes its debut with a two-hour episode that includes a scene featuring the Phil Collins hit "In The Air Tonight."
