The Mayflower

The Mayflower
The Mayflower brought the first group of Pilgrims to North America in 1620. No one knows exactly what the ship looked like, but it was probably about 27 m (90 ft) long and had three masts and two decks. The ship sailed from Plymouth, England, on September 16, 1620, with 102 passengers and arrived at what is now Provincetown, Massachusetts, on November 21. This photograph shows a replica of the original Mayflower.
