I grew up in Fairhaven Massachusetts, about 40 minutes away from Plymouth. I didn't have to go to Plymouth to see the Mayflower as it was brought to Fairhaven whenever it needed an overhaul. I was quite surprised the first time I saw it in the yard in Fairhaven.
We also have an old repro of Cabot's ship the Matthew in Bristol.
You can see it here in a post I made way back in 2015.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
While we were in Plymouth we got to talk to a crewmember and apparently they take her to Mystic Seaport these days. She's looking pretty fresh off a recent refit.Originally Posted by TwoSheets
