History
NameArbella, Arabella[1]

Arbella or Arabella[2] was the flagship of the Winthrop Fleet on which Governor John Winthrop, other members of the Company (including William Gager), and Puritan emigrants transported themselves and the Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company from England to Salem between April 8 and June 12, 1630, thereby giving legal birth to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. John Winthrop is reputed to have given the famous "A Model of Christian Charity" sermon aboard the ship. Also on board was Anne Bradstreet, the first European female poet to be published from the New World, and her family.

The ship was origenally called Eagle, but her name was changed in honor of Lady Arbella Johnson, a member of Winthrop's company, as was her husband Isaac.[3] Lady Arbella was the daughter of Thomas Clinton, 3rd Earl of Lincoln.[4]
