Arbella

Arbella

"For the English noblewoman, see Arbella Stuart."The "Arbella" was the flagship of the Winthrop Fleet on which, between April 8 and June 12 1630, Governor John Winthrop, other members of the Company and Puritan emigrants transported themselves and the Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company from England to Salem, thereby giving legal birth to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. John Winthrop is reputed to have given the famous "City upon a Hill" sermon aboard the ship.

The ship was at first known as the "Eagle". Its name was changed in honor of Lady Arabella Johnson, who was a member of Winthrop's company, along with her husband, Isaac Johnson. [Channing, Edward (1907). "A History of the United States", Vol. I, p. 330. New York: The Macmillan Company.]
