And a long exhibit-
Everyday, March 26-November 27


Provisioning a Ship:  This brand new exhibit is the latest addition to the 
Mayflower II museum location. Everyone knows the worst part of going on a 
trip is knowing what to pack.  Imagine figuring out what you would need to 
begin your new life across the ocean. The Mayflower voyage in 1620 was at 
the leading edge of a mass migration - by 1643, more than 20,000 English 
people had made the passage to New England. The journey across the Atlantic 
might take from two to four months, requiring a great deal of organization. 
Good advance planning for food, drink, and cooking fuel could take some of 
the discomfort out of the generally unpleasant, sometimes miserable and 
dangerous, voyage. Through this exhibit, learn how the organizers of 
colonies like Plymouth knew what kind of provisions were necessary, and how 
much to bring?



Have fun! See you there!!

One can never know too much; the more one learns, the more one sees the need 
to learn more and that study as well as broadening the mind of the craftsman 
provides an easy way of perfecting yourself in the practice of your art."
