The Arabella, originally named the Eagle, was the flagship of the Winthrop Fleet, facilitating the journey of Governor John Winthrop and Puritan emigrants from England to Salem between April and June 1630. This ship symbolizes the legal foundation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

John Winthrop is famously known for delivering the "City upon a Hill" sermon aboard the Arabella. Additionally, the ship carried Anne Bradstreet, the first female poet published in the New World, along with her family. The ship was renamed to honor Lady Arabella Johnson, a key member of Winthrop's company.
