Mantua Models 1/64 Scale Mayflower Model Kit The Mayflower left England in 1620 to take English and Dutch pilgrims to America. Their destination was the Virginia Colony but the ship was so damaged they were forced to land at Cape Cod. The Passengers lived on the ship for a few months, building shelters on land during the day, then returning to the ship at night. One survivor from the Mayflower was John Howland.
