The Mayflower shallop

This is a 1/32 scale model of the shallop used by Myles Standish and others to explore Cape Cod Bay in November 1620 in search of a suitable site for the permanent Pilgrim colony.  The model was built using plans from MIT with the permission of Plimoth Patuxet, and is primarily made from basswood with some parts made of pine and hardwood dowels.  Many of the details of structure and coloration were drawn from personal photos taken during visits to Lowell’s Boat Shop during the shallop restoration and during a visit to Plimoth Patuxet in August 2021 to see the restored shallop next to the Mayflower.
