Mayflower Misadventures

The journey of the Mayflower is fraught with challenges, starting with the leaking Speedwell that forces everyone onto the larger ship. With 102 passengers, including a mix of Puritans and "strangers," the group sets sail late in the season, risking a perilous winter arrival in the New World. The vastness of the Atlantic looms large, as the journey could take a grueling six weeks or more, leaving many to question the wisdom of their expedition.
