I am not sure that the wood hull would produce the jaring impact needed to set off the pistol, and, certainly, magnetic pistols would be out of the question. I suppose if you set the depth to zero and spread a shot fore and aft of the main mast, you could make some big enough holes to cause the Mayflower to roll over. I don't think you'll get to see her go boom.
Anyway, do you have some sort of problem with religious reformers? The USA will be founded without the settlement at Plymouth. Besides, you're 13 years too late. The colony at Jamestown was established in 1607.
