The Mayflower II has returned to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The replica of the famed ship that carried the Pilgrims to Massachusetts in 1620 returned to its home port on Plymouth Bay on Monday.
The ship had been undergoing an extensive restoration in the run-up to Plymouth’s 400th anniversary in 2020. That has meant spending the last few winters at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut.
The ship passed through the Cape Cod Canal before docking back home on the Plymouth waterfront.
The Mayflower II is a major tourist attraction and an educational resource that annually draws thousands of student visitors.
