Mayflower II / Plimoth Plantation

Plimoth Plantation is a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA, that shows the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by English colonists, some of whom later became known as Pilgrims. They were among the first people who immigrated to America to avoid religious persecution. It currently is a not-for-profit museum.

The re-creations are sourced from a wide variety of first and second records, accounts, articles and period paintings and artifacts and the museum conducts ongoing research and scholarship.

The postcard shows the recreated Mayflower II.  The original Mayflower was the name of the ship that brought the Pilgrims across the Atlantic.
