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."
