The Challenge is On... Float the Boat!

The Challenge is On... Float the Boat! Help Us Raise $250k for Mayflower II's Restoration A gift from the English people to commemorate the US-British alliance during World War II, an iconic symbol of freedom, and a floating classroom, Mayflower II has delighted visitors from near and far for over 60 years. The time has come to preserve and protect Mayflower II for future generations to learn from and enjoy. We are excited to announce that we launched a global Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign with a goal of $250,000 to support the restoration of Mayflower II! The campaign ends on November 16 and it is all or nothing; so we must meet (or better yet, exceed) our goal in order to collect the funds. In the spirit that Mayflower II is everybody’s ship and belongs to the Nation, you will have the chance to be a part of this historic project by pledging today. YOU are so important to this effort, and today our goal is to gain 500 backers in the first 24 hours of this campaign. Will you help us?

Local businesses have already joined in on the campaign, pledging their support and helping us with this promotional video!

How You Can Help Please share our campaign at SaveMayflower.org with your family, friends, and colleagues as we need as many people to participate as possible to reach our goal. Successful Kickstarter campaigns gain momentum in the first few days so spreading the word quickly is important. YOUR gift will make such a difference in ensuring the longevity of Mayflower II, so that she may serve as a floating classroom for generations to come. Thank you from all of us at Plimoth Plantation for your support! If you have any questions about the Kickstarter campaign, or would like more details on how you can help “Float the Boat!” please contact Courtney Roy-Branigan, Director of Development, at ext. 8203.
