Free shipping in Italy
The Mayflower, literally "flower of May," is one of the most famous ships in the world. It went down in history for transporting the Pilgrims from Plymouth (England) to Cape Cod Bay (Massachusetts) in 1620.
During the religious repression of Queen Elizabeth I of England, two major sects formed: the Puritans and the Separatists. It was the latter who made up the largest contingent of the Mayflower, which under the reign of James I, set sail from Plymouth on September 6, 1620, with 102 men, women, and children, to establish permanent settlements in America.
The Mayflower carries a story of resilience and hope that dates back to 1602 in England, a tumultuous time for the Anglican Church. The growing dissent led to the formation of reformed churches, including the congregation led by John Robinson, William Brewster, and William Bradford.
After internal divergences and religious persecutions, the group decided to emigrate to the Netherlands in search of religious tolerance. There, in Leiden, the group grew and strengthened under the leadership of Robinson and Brewster for over ten years.
The Mayflower's voyage to the New World in 1620 was not just an act of exploration, but one of courage and determination in the face of religious oppression.
This journey marked the beginning of a new era, bringing hope and freedom to those seeking a better life. Today, the Mayflower continues to inspire, reminding us of humanity's strength in pursuing dreams and striving for a better future.
