A major milestone achieved for the Mayflower II Restoration Project - the last hull plank below the wale has been installed! This is often known as the "whiskey plank." Watch to learn why! The shipwrights from Mystic Seaport Museum and Plimoth Plantation have milled, steamed, fit, and installed 182 hull planks - 20K board feet sourced from Denmark's royal managed forest - during the restoration of this national treasure. | Plimoth Patuxet Museums
