Mayflower II

After visiting Plimoth Plantation, we spent some time aboard Mayflower II, a replica of the original Mayflower, built in the 1950's.  It is a stunningly small ship, especially once you stop to consider that it crossed the Atlantic with more than 100 people, and their worldly possessions, on board.
Mast and crows nest. 
The Captain of the ship, who was filled with fire and brimstone. 
An old ink well and feather pen. 
Looking out of one of the small cannon windows. 
Provisions. 
A glimpse into the Captain's chamber. 
At 3:15, it was time to ring the bell..... 
...and the girls were at the right place at the right time.


Mayflower is a tiny ship.
