Trivia:

A full-scale reproduction of the Mayflower was constructed on a sound stage located at 1725-1735 Fleming Street (now Hoover) 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 is now owned by KCET, a Los Angeles Public Broadcasting Station.
