It is believed that the original Mayflower that came to Plymouth in 1620 was
retired soon after. A different boat, which was also named Mayflower
made the trip in 1629. I quote from "Cape Cod Series, Vol II, History
and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters and first comers to Ye Olde Colonie"
by Leon Clark Hills; Hills Pub Co, Wash DC, 1941, p. 86 below:

"
The Master of this Mayflower was the famous Captain William Peirce. The
boat left Gravesend, London, March, 1629, and arrived at Plymouth, May 15,
1629. There were something over thirty-five passengers, many of them from
Leyden.

This doesn't exactly answer your question but it may provide a lead:

Already of dubious sea-worthiness, it is said the Mayflower made only one more
voyage, a slaving venture to Africa. In 1624 it was sold to a Buckinghamshire
farmer who dismantled it and used its timbers for the frame of his barn (Prince Georges County Genealogical Society Bulletin, Vol. 14, No. 10, June 1983; NY
Times, 2 March 1986).

It was not uncommon for different ships to have the same name and, I believe, I
have seen _another_ ship named the Mayflower, this in the course of my
ramblings through the 17th century. Good luck.

There is a misconception here. The "Mayflower" that brought the
Pilgrims to Plymouth, MA, in 1620, never returned to New England.
There was, however, *another* ship with the *same name*. In fact, the
name "Mayflower" was borne by as many as 30 ships at the same time, all
sailing out of England. It was another of these ships which brought
more immigrants to New England in 1629. For the passenger list, see
Charles E. Banks, _Planters_of_the_Commonwealth_.
