Artesania Latina 1/64 1620 Mayflower Scaled Wooden Model Ship Kit
Discover the Mayflower, a wooden model of this freighter ship of the 17th century. This ship transported 102 English separatists — now known as the Pilgrim Fathers — from Plymouth to the New World, making this journey an iconic one within early American history. Build your 1/64 scale model of the Mayflower, an early US history icon. Its system of construction by means of false keel and frames relates the assembly of your model to the construction of the real ship.
Their religion having been declared illegal, a group of English puritans set sail for America in the Mayflower on the 6th of September, 1620, under the orders of the ship's captain Christopher Jones. The Mayflower was a typical English merchant ship from the early 17th century. After two failed attempts to return to port for repairs, the famous voyage began on 6 September, arriving at the coast of Newfoundland in November. It would not be until well into the winter when they managed to reach New England. The Mayflower was destroyed on its return to England in 1624. A replica was built three centuries later and presented in the ports of New York, Miami & the port of Plymouth, The United States.
