The Mayflower was originally built as a merchant ship, intended for cargo transport. It was constructed in the early 17th century in England and primarily used for trade between England and the continent. Its conversion for the famous 1620 voyage was motivated by the desire of a group of English Puritans, seeking religious freedom, to establish a new settlement in the New World.
