Ships have played a pivotal role in developing travel, transportation and commerce in the United States. In 1620, one of the most important and well-known historic vessels, the Mayflower, transported 102 Pilgrims from England to Plymouth, Mass.—a voyage that led to the founding of America.
More than 300 years later, a full-scale reproduction of the ship—the Mayflower II—was built in 1957 in Devon, England, and gifted to America as a symbol of post-World War II unity. Today, the craft is docked at Plymouth Harbor as part of Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum in southeastern Massachusetts.
Providing insurance for such a historic vessel is no simple task, but through a range of marine and inland marine products, International Marine Underwriters (IMU), through one of the insurance companies in the OneBeacon Insurance Group, has provided coverage for the Mayflower II for more than 20 years.
