What does the Mayflower II ornament show?

Mayflower II of Plymouth, Massachusetts, under sail: a three-masted square-rigged ship with a high stern castle, full sails and flags at the mastheads.

When did Mayflower II come to Plymouth?

Mayflower II was built in Brixham, England, in 1955 and 1956. She sailed from Plymouth, England, on April 20, 1957, under Captain Alan Villiers and arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, on June 13, 1957.

What is the ornament made of, and how is it packaged?

A three-inch round of faceted crystal glass with a red ribbon. The line-drawn art is printed so the open areas let the crystal show through. It comes in a white or gold gift box, is made to order in the USA and ships free in the U.S.

Is this ornament an official Plymouth souvenir?

No. It is original art by Merlin Classics, an independent shop, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any town office, museum or organization.

Mayflower II under full sail, Plymouth's ship drawn for the tree.

She is the first thing you look for on the Plymouth waterfront, three masts above the pier. The ornament shows Mayflower II the way she is seldom seen, out on the water with her sails set: the high stern castle, the square rig, and flags at the mastheads.

For Plymouth families this is the hometown piece. It is a three-inch round of faceted crystal glass on a red ribbon, printed so the open areas of the drawing let the light through, in your choice of a white or gold gift box. It is also a natural gift for anyone who traces a line back to the passengers, for the host of a big late-November dinner, and for the tall-ship admirer who followed her long rebuild and her return home.

Mayflower II was built at the Upham shipyard in Brixham, Devon, between 1955 and 1956 as a gift from the people of England. Under Captain Alan Villiers she sailed from Plymouth, England, on April 20, 1957, and reached Plymouth, Massachusetts, on June 13. After a full restoration that ran from late 2015 to 2020 she came back to her berth at the state pier.

She has now been in Plymouth harbor longer than most people can remember, and millions have walked her decks. She gives a famous story a real size: small, crowded, and a long way from land.
