Questions and answers

Is the drawing what the Mayflower really looked like?

It is our own drawing of a merchant ship of her time, not a plan of the Mayflower. Her exact dimensions are unknown, so no picture can be exact.

Which Mayflower color by number page is the easiest?

The Ship's anchor and the Cask from the hold take 3 crayons each. Of the six ship sheets, the Mayflower at anchor, at sunset and from the bow take 4 crayons; the other three take 5.

Is there a Mayflower color by number for Thanksgiving?

Yes, these eight fit a Thanksgiving unit: the Pilgrims' first fall harvest celebration in 1621, shared with 90 Wampanoag people, was later called the first American Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving set has a turkey, a pumpkin pie and a cornucopia.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a brand, a logo or a character from a film, show, book or game. The facts in four descriptions (the three masts and square rig, the anchorage near the tip of Cape Cod in November 1620, the storms of the crossing and the 180 casks) and the facts in the text of this page were checked against the Wikipedia article Mayflower in October 2026. The ship is our own drawing of a merchant ship of that time, not a plan of the Mayflower: her exact measurements are not known. The color and square counts were counted from the finished grids.
