Mayflower II returns to Plymouth today!

Managing Real Estate Broker with Brad MacKenzie

The Mayflower II will be arriving back in Plymouth today!

Mayflower II restored

The partially restored Mayflower II will be leaving Fairhaven at 5:00 a.m. and arriving at the Cape Cod Canal around 9:00 a.m. The journey through the canal will take approximately 45 minutes and Mayflower II is expected to arrive on the high tide in Plymouth Harbor around 12:00 p.m.

For the past seven months, Mayflower II has been undergoing extensive repairs in dry-dock, a restoration and preservation project that began this winter. The work will begin again this winter after the Museum closes for the season.

Between now and 2020, Mayflower II must be restored to its utmost glory to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ voyage.

More news and photos of the restoration can be seen at Captns Blog

Good morning Brad, what a wonderful ship-is this a replica of the first or was there a second ship?

Brad,  Wow ... I had no idea.  What an amazing piece of history. I'm sure the 400th anniversary will be a grand celebration.

Brad, this is pretty cool!  One of my favorite nephews is into these old beauties and has taught me to appreciate them.
