There were 102 pasngers and a crew of 25–30.woodbury

The vesl left England on September 6, 1620 (Old Style)/September 16 (New Style), and after a grueling 66-day journey marked by dia, which claimed two lives, the ship dropped anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod (Provincetown Harbor) on November 11/November 21. The Mayflower was originally destined for the mouth of the Hudson River, near prent-day New York City, at the northern edge of England's Virginia colony, which itlf was established with the 1607 Jamestown Settlement. However, the Mayflower went off cour as the winter approached, and remained in Cape Cod Bay. On March 21/31, 1621, all surviving pasngers, who had inhabited the ship during the winter, moved ashore at Plymouth, and on April 5/15, the Mayflower, a privately commissioned vesl, returned to England. In 1623, a year after the death of captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower was most likely dismantled for scrap lumber in Rotherhithe, London.
The Mayflower has a famous place in American history as a symbol of early European colonization of the future United States. With their religion oppresd by the English Church and government, English Disnters called Pilgrims who comprid about half of the pasngers on the ship desired a life where they could practice their religion freely. This symbol of religious freedom resonates in U.S. society and the story of the Mayflower is a staple of any American history textbook. Americans who roots are traceable back to New England often believe themlves to be descended from Mayflower pasngers.[citation needed]
The main record for the voyage of the Mayflower and the disposition of the Plymouth Colony comes from William Bradford who was a guiding force and later the governor of the colony.华师附中番禺学校
The Mayflower was ud primarily as a cargo ship, involved in active trade of goods (often wine) between England and other European countries, (principally France, but also Norway, Germany, and Spain). Like many ships of the time (such as the Santa Maria), th
e Mayflower was most likely a carrack with three masts, square-rigged on the foremast and mainmast but lateen-rigged on the mizzenmast. At least between 1609 and 1622, it was mastered by Christopher Jones, who would command the ship on the famous transatlantic voyage, and bad in Rotherhithe, London, England. After the famous voyage of the Mayflower, the ship returned to England, likely dismantled for scrap lumber in Rotherhithe in 1623, only a year after Jones's death in March 1622. The Mayflower Barn, just outside the Quaker village of Jordans, in Buckinghamshire, England, is said to be built from the timbers, but this is likely apocryphal.

William Bradford, who penned our only account of the Mayflower voyage, wrote that John Alden "was hired for a cooper [barrel-maker], at South-Hampton, where the ship victuled; and being a hopefull yong man, was much desired, but left to his owne liking to go or stay when he came here; but he stayed, and maryed here."

囫囵Initially, the plan was for the voyage to be made in two vesls, the other being the smaller Speedwell, which had transported some of the Pilgrims embarking on the voyage from Delfshaven in the Netherlands to Southampton, England.
The first voyage of the ships departed Southampton, on August 5/15, 1620, but the Speedwell developed a leak, and had to be refitted at Dartmouth on August 17/27.
On the cond attempt, the ships reached the Atlantic Ocean but again were forced to return to Plymouth becau of the Speedwell's leak. It would later be revealed that there was in fact nothing wrong with the Speedwell. The Pilgrims believed that the crew had, through aspects of refitting the ship, and their behavior in operating it, sabotaged the voyage in order to escape the year-long commitment of their contract.
After reorganization, the final sixty-six day voyage was made by the Mayflower alone, leaving from a site near to the Mayflower Steps in Plymouth, England on September 6/16. With 102 pasngers plus crew, each family was allotted a very confined amount of space for personal belongings. The Mayflower stopped off at Newlyn in Cornwall to take
on water.
The intended destination was an area near the Hudson River, in "North Virginia." However the ship was forced far off-cour by inclement weather and drifted well north of the intended Virginia ttlement. As a result of the delay, the ttlers did not arrive in Cape Cod until after the ont of a harsh New England winter. The ttlers ultimately failed to reach Virginia where they had already obtained permission from the London Company to ttle, due to difficulties navigating the treacherous waters off the southeast corner of Cape Cod.
