15, 1620 The
Mayflower, a British
cargo ship, Captained
by Christopher Jones
set sail from
Plymouth, England.
She set sail with a
Pilgrim colony of 102
people aboard. The
Mayflower was 95 feet
in length and
displaced 180 tons.
Her voyage across the
Atlantic took 67 days
and 3000 miles of
stormy ocean at an
average speed of 2
knots. Due to
primitive navigation
techniques Mayflower
landed in Cape Cod
missing their
intended destination.
After exploring the
coast of New England
the Pilgrims settled
in Plymouth, for
their new home. That
winter the Pilgrims
lived aboard the
Mayflower while
building their
colony. On April 5,
1621 Mayflower sailed
back to England, but
not a single Member
of the colony went
with her.
