The original Mayflower carried the Pilgrims to New England in
1620. After a voyage of 66 days, the 102 weary travelers finally
sighted land at the tip of Cape Cod. They scouted for a suitable
place to settle and finally decided upon Patuxet, known to the
English as Plymouth. In 1955-7, a reproduction, Mayflower II, was
built in Brixham, England. She was intended as a gift to America
in appreciation of US assistance to Great Britain during WWII. A
specially selected crew sailed the ship across the Atlantic, arriving
in June of 1957. Mayflower II is now part of Plimoth Plantation, the
living history museum of 17th-century Plymouth, Massachusetts.
