Mayflower II Returns to Plymouth
The Mayflower II sailed back into Plymouth Monday after undergoing restoration work. It's now on view at the State Pier off Water Street.
PLYMOUTH, MA — The Mayflower II is back in its home port.
The 106-foot ship, a replica of the vessel that transported the first English settlers to Massachusetts in 1620, sailed into Plymouth Monday after its annual winter restoration work at the Mystic Seaport in Connecticut.
The ship docked at the State Pier across from Water Street. It will stay there until winter, when it will sail back to the Mystic Seaport. The winter restoration work will continue through 2020 in preparation for Plymouth's 400th anniversary.
