Mayflower Miniature Ships Model and Refrigerator Magnet $7.50
This is a beautiful handmade miniature wooden model of the famous Mayflower.
In 1620 the 180 ton Mayflower brought the first group of Pilgrims to North America.
A total of 102 passengers from Plymouth, England were aboard the Mayflower on its voyage across the Atlantic.
Originally, the ship was aiming for Virginia, where the colonists had received authorization to settle.
But due to stormy weather and navigational errors, the vessel failed stay on its correct course and rounded
the end of Cape Cod.
On November 21 the Mayflower dropped anchor off the site of present-day Provincetown, Massachusetts and remained
anchored for the next few weeks.
During this time, a party from the ship went to explore Cape Cod, looking to find a suitable site to set up the colony.
After finally selecting an area to settle, the Pilgrims disembarked from the Mayflower on December 21, near
the head of Cape Cod.
They founded Plymouth Colony, which is the first permanent settlement in New England.
This hand carved wooden model is highly detailed with starched cloth sails, masts, and rigging.
The back of Mayflower model has a powerful magnet so the model can be used as a refrigerator
magnet, or set on a desk or shelf using the built in stand.
The Mayflower Miniature Ships Model and Refrigerator Magnet is 4 inches (10.2 cm) long
and 3 7/8 inches (9.8 cm) tall.
The Mayflower Miniature Ships Model and Refrigerator Magnet sells for only $7.50.
