Worm-eaten Wood Linked to Mayflower History
A wooden fragment, described as worm-eaten, is tied to Mayflower history through Mrs. Forrest C. Dana who claims it comes from a main beam of the hull. Her Pilgrim ancestor John Howland is said to have signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620 aboard the ship. The item was shown during the Mayflower anniversary observance.
