Sailing into Thanksgiving

by The Mariners' Museum

Leaving England for the New World, the Pilgrims sailed across the ocean on their small ship, the Mayflower. Join us in learning about life on board the Mayflower and its journey across the Atlantic. Students will learn about the Pilgrims and their life in America, what inspired them to celebrate the first Thanksgiving, and how the Wampanoag people were essential to their survival. Students will have an opportunity to make a story bracelet inspired by Wampanoag wampum belts, so they will be able to tell others about the Thanksgiving story.
