Built at Uphams Yard in Brixham, the keel for this magnificent replica was laid in 1955. The historical vessel, a meticulous reproduction of the original Mayflower that carried the Pilgrims from England to America in 1620, underwent rigorous sailing trials to ensure her seaworthiness and authenticity. The Mayflower II, with her full sails billowing in the wind, cuts an impressive figure against the backdrop of the Devon coastline.

This photograph is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of those who brought this historical replica to life, allowing future generations to connect with the rich history of the Pilgrims' journey. The Mayflower II's successful sailing trials marked the beginning of her journey to New Plymouth, where she would become an integral part of the Plimoth Plantation living history museum. This photograph is a precious piece of maritime history, offering a glimpse into the past and the incredible story of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims' voyage to the New World.
