The Mayflower was first recorded in 1609. At that time she was a merchant ship traveling to Baltic ports. The ship was about 180 tons, and rested in Harwich.
Our model is hand-crafted from hardwood. The method to build, just like the real boat, is with planks on frame.
This model measures 50cmL x 13cmW x 50cmH.
HISTORY:
The Mayflower brought the first group of Pilgrims to North America in 1620. As originally conceived, the expedition included another vessel, the Speedwell, but the latter proved unseaworthy. The Mayflower, about 180 gross tons and carrying 102 passengers, finally got under way from Plymouth, England, on September 16, 1620. The ship was headed for Virginia, where the colonists had been authorized to settle.
As a result of stormy weather and navigational errors, the vessel failed to make good its course, and on November 21 the Mayflower rounded the end of Cape Cod and dropped anchor off the site of present-day Provincetown, Massachusetts. No one knows exactly what the ship looked like, but it was probably about 27 m (90 ft) long, had three masts and two decks, and probably weighed about 180 tons.
