The ship that landed at Plymouth Harbor in 1620 was called the Mayflower, likely derived from the term for the hawthorn flower, which blooms in May. The name may also reflect the ship's timing of departure in the spring season. Additionally, the Mayflower was originally a commercial vessel, and its name could have been chosen for its appeal in the shipping trade. Ultimately, the Mayflower became synonymous with the Pilgrims' journey and their quest for religious freedom.
