How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
May 27th through history
The Bismarck, and a bridge painted international orange
On May 27th 1941 the German battleship Bismarck was sunk in the Atlantic some three hundred miles west of Brest, three days after destroying the Hood. A torpedo dropped from an obsolete Swordfish biplane flown off the Ark Royal had jammed her rudder the previous evening and left her steering in circles, unable to reach the safety of a French port. Of more than two thousand men aboard, around 110 were picked up before the rescuing ships broke off on a submarine alarm.
The Golden Gate Bridge opened to pedestrians on May 27th 1937, and some two hundred thousand people walked across before any car was allowed on. It held the longest suspension span in the world for the next twenty-seven years. The colour, international orange, was chosen over the Navy’s suggestion of black and yellow stripes.
On May 27th 1703 Peter the Great founded St Petersburg on marshland at the mouth of the Neva, a capital deliberately built facing Europe. On May 27th 1930 the Chrysler Building opened in New York, briefly the tallest in the world before the Empire State overtook it eleven months later.
More than two hundred films, several languages spoken fluently and a war behind him: Christopher Lee, the actor forever associated with Dracula and the horror genre, born in Belgravia on May 27th 1922. Vincent Price, another horror-film stalwart, shares the date, in 1911, and Cilla Black, the singer turned television presenter, in Liverpool, in 1943.
Born on May 27th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Christopher Lee and Vincent Price — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Gemini — an Air sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Twins.
Birthstone
Emerald for May.
Birth flower
Lily of the Valley (primary), also Hawthorn — most commonly cited sources agree on lily of the valley as the main May flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
