| Description | Mayflower II is the reproduction of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to New England. As you enter, you'll see an exhibit on New England's Native Peoples, an explanation of why the colonists left England and Holland, and a hands-on exhibit explaining 17th-century navigation. Onboard you'll see certain areas of the ship set up as they would have been in 1620, and will have the opportunity to talk with modern guides about the history of Plymouth Colony, and to discuss wooden shipbuilding with maritime artisans. After viewing the ship, visitors tour an area where you will learn more about this reproduction vessel; how she was researched and built, and about her voyage from England in 1957. Along with costumed passengers and mariner role players, Mayflower II staff often demonstrate maritime trades: carving, rigging, tool-making and more. |
