PM fine with second-class transportation to America once (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mayflower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'transportation to america once' is the definition.
(ship that took the Pilgrims to America in 1620)

'pm fine with second-class' is the wordplay.
'pm' becomes 'May' (Theresa May).
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'second class' becomes 'lower' (lower class is a kind of class. I am not sure about the 'second' bit.).
'may'+'f'+'lower'='MAYFLOWER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mayflower that I've seen before include "bark used by settlers" , "Famous Pilgrim ship" , "emigrants' vessel?" , "Pilgrims' vessel" , "vessel crossing ocean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
