Mayflower

The Mayflower was the ship that transported the Pilgrims, a group of English settlers seeking religious freedom, from England to North America in 1620. After a voyage of about two months across the Atlantic, they arrived in what is now Massachusetts. The Mayflower is historically significant because the Pilgrims established one of the first successful English colonies in North America, and their journey and descendants played a crucial role in American history and culture. The ship symbolizes exploration, settlement, and the pursuit of religious and personal freedom.
