The British ship mayflower having arrived in the area sometime previously were finally able to come ashore on 18th December 1620 at what is now Plymouth Massachusetts and to begin their new settlement of Plymouth colony.

For centuries mighty ships have sailed across the sea from England to America. However, few have been recognized to afford as significant a heritage as did the little 180 ton Mayflower bringing the Pilgrim Fathers to their new home in 1620. This, their story, is a history of survival in a fight for freedom.
