June 13th marks the arrival of Mayflower II to Plymouth52 years ago today! Come celebrate the jewel of Plymouth Harbor with events and activities to highlight her beauty, as well as her great history. Visitors are invited to join museum staff for this full day celebration and personal reminiscences of the remarkable 1957 voyage from England to America.

Come meet a 1957 Crew Member, Joe Meany, the American Cabin Boy of Mayflower II, and hear his humorous stories, including how the crew surprised him by secretly planning a shipboard graduation for him to replace the official high school ceremony we was missing while at sea. Joe’s wife Ann will also join us to share stories about how she ended up with Felix, the Mayflower II kitten and mascot.

At 10 am and 3 pm, meet Peter Arenstam, current Mayflower II Captain and a children’s book author, who will read from his book Felix and His Mayflower II Adventures. Additional celebration, and enjoyable activities for children will go on throughout the day. It is family fun for everyone!
