What was the name of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America?

• A. Mayflower
• B. Santa Maria
• C. Nina
• D. Pinta

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is to know which ship carried the Pilgrims to North America in 1620. The name of that ship was the Mayflower. It sailed from England with a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, and after a difficult crossing they ended up in what became Plymouth, Massachusetts. On board, they agreed to govern themselves through the Mayflower Compact, an early step toward self-rule for their colony. The other vessels—Santa Maria, Nina, and Pinta—were Christopher Columbus’s ships from his 1492 voyage, long before the Pilgrims’ journey.
