Project Mayflower : building and sailing a seventeenth-century replica /Richard A. Stone ; foreword by James W. Baker.

"Project Mayflower recounts the never-before-told story of a grand adventure, from the origins of the idea, through the financial and political influences that nearly scuttled the ship, and the Mayflower II's dramatic ocean voyage from England to Massachusetts in the skilled hands of Alan Villiers, his bold crew, and their mascot, Felix the cat. Stone finishes by exploring the legacy of praise for the achievement, the skulduggery to tarnish Charlton's reputation, and the Mayflower II's lasting impact on the United States of America."--Provided by the publisher.
