Climb aboard a vivid exploration of 17th-century seafaring and the legendary voyage of the Mayflower. This exhibit transports you from the bustling ports of England to the treacherous, storm-tossed Atlantic, a world where survival depended on skill, faith, and a sturdy wooden vessel. Discover the cramped and challenging conditions faced by both the Pilgrims seeking a new life and the professional mariners who navigated by the stars and the unyielding will of the wind. Learn about the ship itself, a working cargo vessel not built for passengers, and the dramatic events of a 66-day journey that would forever change the course of history, shaping not only a colony but an entire nation.
