Mayflower II

There's a lot of rope on that boat.


She is a good looking ship. It must be pretty big under the waterline
because it looks top heavy here.A pretty good parade following her also.

Hi Paul,
You sent me looking. Zooming in on the original images I took, it
looks like she is drawing (draughting?) 12 feet (3.66m).

Here is a picture I grabbed from their web cam a few days before they
dropped her back into the water, showing the lower hull.
Maybe a lot of ballast?

Good picture, thanks for finding it Bob. It's a good size hull and
loaded with cargo or ballast should be able to make here pretty seaworthy.

Paul

It was a fun little exercise finding the info. I guess the design
*had* to be seaworthy, she crossed the Atantic to get here in '57. I
was in West Bridgewater at the time, not far inland from Plymouth, and
it was a big deal in the area.
