Answer:

A ship that carried around 100 English men and women to Cape Cod in 1620.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mayflower was the famous ship that in 1620 transported the so-called Pilgrims from the port of Southampton, England, to the New World. The ship was carrying 102 passengers, mostly separatist Puritans, seeking religious freedom, far from the hegemonic power of the Anglican Church. Mayflower Pilgrims were the first settlers to settle on the lands of what would be the future United States of America. They founded the city of Plymouth, which would become the capital of Plymouth Cologne.
