Description from the seller

Model artisanally built directly from construction plans (not in kit), finished with all details, complete with supporting base.
The Mayflower (literally May flower) was the ship with which the Pilgrim Fathers, who sailed on 6 September 1620 from Plymouth (England), reached the present United States at Cape Cod two months later, on 11 November.
The historical period
In England, in the 1500s, the Anglican Church lived through a troubled period that led to the birth of the Calvinist church as well as smaller churches called congregations or Reformed churches. John Robinson, an Anglican priest suspended from service by the Bishop of Norwich, came into contact with a group of religious dissenters among whom were John Smyth (founder of the Baptist Church), William Brewster, and William Bradford.
Having become numerous, they settled in a vast territory in the Trent Valley, between the counties of Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
Internal divergences led to the division of this congregation into two branches, also favored by geographical reasons: Smyth remained in Gainsborough (Lincolnshire), while Brewster and Bradford settled near Scrooby (Nottinghamshire), with Robinson as their pastor.
The persecutions carried out by the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Lincoln convinced the two groups to emigrate to the Netherlands: Smyth to Amsterdam and Robinson to Leiden. Here the group grew under the leadership of Robinson and his brother-in-law, the deacon John Carver, and they remained there for over ten years.
The Robinson separatist group continued to suffer from distance from the mother country and so together they decided to emigrate to the new colonies in New England in America.
The Pilgrim Fathers, after lengthy negotiations, thanks to the friendship of William Brewster with Sir Edwin Sandys (treasurer and official of the first English company in Virginia, as well as responsible for the colony), obtained in 1619 a concession from the Virginia Company that secured them part of their northern zone in North America in the Hudson Valley.
They invested most of their resources, entered into a financial contract with an iron merchant, Thomas Weston, and rented a ship, which previously belonged to the Florentine Guicciardini family, hence the name Mayflower (i.e., the lily, Florentine symbol par excellence), determined to undertake under English protection a remunerative trading venture.
The group of 102 passengers was not homogeneous: many were members of the congregation, but a certain number of families and other people who hoped to improve their economic situation had also joined.
The voyage.
The ship was actually a three-masted galleon of about 180 tons, commanded by the Pilgrim fathers Carver and Brewster.
In September 1620, aboard the Mayflower, they set sail from Plymouth and after about two months arrived at the port of Cape Cod, then to Provincetown (Massachusetts) on 11 November 1620, where they formed the Mayflower Compact, which gave rise to their government.
Giving up the concession obtained, they disembarked on 11 December on the western coast of Massachusetts, where they founded the Plymouth Colony, officially recognized on 1 June 1621. According to tradition, the exact point where the Pilgrims first set foot in the New World is marked by Plymouth Rock, which can still be seen on the town’s seafront.
Among the Mayflower passengers: Christopher Jones, captain and co-owner; John Alden, organizer of the voyage and founder of the colony; John Carver, first governor; William Bradford, who was appointed governor after Carver’s death and was reelected for 30 consecutive times.
The Mayflower left Plymouth on 15 April 1621 and docked again in an English port on 16 May.
The history is actually complicated because the name Mayflower was very common for ships at the time and the exact shipyard that built it is not known with certainty.
