Mayflower: Ship
built 606 days ago
The Mayflower remained anchored for the next few weeks while a party from the ship explored Cape Cod and its environs in search of a satisfactory site for the colony. Peregrine White, the first European child born in New England, was delivered on the Mayflower in the interim. On December 21, an area having been selected, the Pilgrims disembarked from the Mayflower near the head of Cape Cod and founded Plymouth Colony, the first permanent settlement in New England.

One other Mayflower can be traced. Samuel Vassall of London gave the name to his ship Christopher & Mary in 1634. Her master was Peter Andrews.

The Mayflower II was launched on September 22, 1956, a rainy day.[1] The ceremony was based on knowledge about christenings of 17th-century vessels. The ship was toasted from a gold loving cup that was then thrown into the water, as was the 17th-century custom, and then quickly retrieved by an underwater diver, in the traditional manner.[1] The ship then was slid gracefully down the ways to enter Brixham harbor with a large splash.
