I found this old photo of a Mayflower at Mystic Seaport. It could be the same boat, although there are detail differences. This and the history note above are pure conjecture.

Lightship

lightship Ambrose LV-78 / WLV-505
The lightship Ambrose LV-78 / WLV-505, now on display at the South Street Seaport, along with the tower that replaced her ( since replaced by another tower, and then a buoy that got run over a few times. I'm not sure if there is anything out there now. )

A lightship is a small vessel with minimal engine power and a stout stable hull, designed to act as an anchored long-term floating lighthouse outside of a harbor. They were generally painted in bright red or orange anti-collision colors. Not that it helped much.
