Q: Is the “Mayflower II” worth visiting?

Yes, the Mayflower II—a full-size replica of the 17th-century ship that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth—is worth visiting. A highlight of Plimoth Patuxet Museums, it offers the chance to really comprehend the conditions the Pilgrims experienced as they voyaged to a new continent.Per one customer who booked the <a href="/tours/Boston/Full-Day-Plymouth-and-Cape-Cod-Tour-from-Boston/d678-5491P4" class="markdown_inline_link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Boston to Plymouth Day-Trip Including Quincy, Plimoth Patuxet and Mayflower II</a>, "Our guide brought the history of the area to life for us! Seeing the Mayflower II was very interesting! My husband and I both have several ancestors who were on the Mayflower. It is amazing that anyone survived the journey!"

Q: Can I go aboard the Mayflower II?

Yes, you can go aboard the Mayflower II. You can walk around the ship’s deck, speak to the crew members, and learn about what the voyage was like way back in the 17th century. While this isn’t the original Mayflower, it’s a pretty close replica built in 1957.

Q: When is the best time to visit the Mayflower II?

Visit the Mayflower II generally from spring to just after Thanksgiving. Temperatures are pretty chilly, snowy, and dark in the Massachusetts winters. Exploring the Mayflower II and the living displays at the Plimoth Patuxet Museum are much more comfortable during spring, summer, and fall.

Q: Is the Mayflower II an exact replica?

It’s pretty close. The Mayflower II is a reconstruction based on what the original may have looked like. It’s about 25 feet (7.5 meters) wide and 106 feet (32 meters) long, with four masts and six sails. Some say the original looked like a wooden bathtub with masts since it was relatively short and fat.

Q: Does the Mayflower II have an engine?

No, the Mayflower II doesn’t have an engine. To get between places today, it has help from a tugboat. Visitors can speak to staff, who are in character and dressed as if they were part of the original voyages. You can ask them how it was sailing aboard a ship with no engine.

Know before you go

Although the design of the Mayflower II has been modernized, it’s not fully accessible. Access ramps can be steep, depending on the tides, and there are stairs inside.
A dockside exhibition area provides further information on the ship and is a good alternative for travelers who can’t board the ship.
Photography and videography for personal use only are allowed on the ship.
