Shipwright Robert Leiby works to fit a "floor timber" into the hull of the Mayflower II Thursday, May 25, 2017 at Mystic Seaport's H.B. duPont Preservation Shipyard. The ship, a replica of the vessel that brought the Pilgrims to the new world in 1620 and built in 1957 in England as a gift to the United States in thanks for support during and after WWII, is an attraction at Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Massachusetts and will be undergoing a 30-month restoration at the seaport in preparation to sail it again on the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim's voyage.
