HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH CARGO VESSEL MAYFLOWER

Discover the Mayflower, wooden model of this freighter ship from XVII century. This ship transported 102 English separatists -now known as the Pilgrim Fathers- from Plymouth to the New World, making this journey an iconic one within early American history.

The Mayflower was a typical English merchant ship from the early 17th century. After two failed attempts to return to port for repairs, the famous voyage began on September 6th arriving at the coast of Newfoundland in November. It would not be until well into the winter when they managed to reach New England.

On its return the Mayflower would be destroyed, a replica was built almost three centuries later. It can be visited at boat museum in the port of Plymouth.
