The Mayflower II, a replica of the 17th-century ship Mayflower, which transported the first Pilgrims from England to North America in 1620, returned after a three-year restoration on Monday to the port of Plymouth, Massachusetts, the same place where settlers arrived 400 years ago.
There had been plans for a celebratory tour of the ship to mark the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage, but Covid-19 got in the way.
The historic reproduction has spent the last three years in Connecticut, getting an £8.6 million restoration.
No one knows what happened to the original Mayflower ship, according to the Plimoth Plantation living history museum.
