The Mayflower was primarily a merchant ship, not a dedicated cargo ship. It was originally used for trade and transport before it became famous for carrying English Pilgrims to North America in 1620. While it did carry cargo, its historical significance lies in its role in transporting settlers seeking religious freedom rather than in its capacity as a cargo vessel.
