This is a reproduction of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to New England. Prior to boarding the ship, visitors pass through an exhibitions that reveal New England's Native Peoples, an explanation of why the colonists left England and Holland, and a hands-on exhibit that helps explains the intricacies of 17th-century navigation. The ship itself is outfitted as it would have been in 1620. Modern guides explain the history of Plymouth Colony, and some are maritime artisans themselves and fully capable of discussing the art and craft of wooden shipbuilding. Both prior to boarding and after departing the ship, visitors may tour an area filled with displays that help them more about this reproduction vessel; how her design was researched and how she was ultimately built; and details about her voyage from England in 1957. On-board staff often demonstrate maritime trades: carving, rigging, tool-making, and more.

Plimouth Plantation also includes the Wampanoag Homesite and the 1627 English Village.
