FACTS on the MAYFLOWER: 1. 102 passengers in addition to the crew were aboard the Mayflower when it set sail from Southampton, England, on September 16, 1620. 2. It took 65 days to cross the Atlantic. 3. There were 18 adult women that made the voyage. 4. A baby, named ,Oceanus Hopkins, was born on the voyage. 5. During a very bad storm, one of the main beams of the ship cracked causing discussion of turning back. Fortunately, a giant screw(perhaps, from a printing press or other equipment aboard) was used to repair the beam so the voyage could continue. 6. The ship sighted Cape Cod on November 19, 1620, and dropped anchor at what is now called Provincetown Harbor on November 21st. 7. Before leaving the ship, a temporary government was established with the document called the Mayflower Compact. 8. By the time of the first Thanksgiving, only 4 of the 18 women had survived. In total, 52 members of those who who made the journey had died from disease and the harsh winter.
