    This is Part Two of the "Birth of New England" series.
    The Mayflower has arrived in Cape Cod in modern Massachusetts in November, 1620. The ship though cannot just drop the passengers off. The pilgrims must find an adequate place for a settlement.
    Also, Cape Cod is very shallow, so the people will need to use a shallop (a small boat) to get to shore. However, the shallop needs to be repaired by the ship's carpenter. In the meantime, a secondary long boat is used.
    Miles Standish leads a party to shore that will include William Bradford, Edward Winslow, and Stephen Hopkins. The men find mounds filled with corn at a place that will later be called "Corn Hill." The men take the corn.
    There are vestiges of the native society. Standish and his men find native burials and homes, but the people are not there. Before the Mayflower had arrived, the great majority of natives in this area had died from diseases from European fishermen.
    The Algonquian homes they find are called wigwams, circular homes.
    The men find a harbor that they call "Cold Harbor." It is where the Pamet River is. Nearby, they have their first skirmish with local natives, likely members of the Nauset tribe, an Algonquian people. This beach is still called "First Encounter" today.
    While some are satisfied that Cold Harbor is good for a settlement, a sailor named Coppin recommends a place he calls "Thievish Harbor." Enough men are interested that they sail on the shallop around the hook of Cape Cod to the mainland.
    The shallop ends up on an island called "Clark's Island," because a John Clark walked off the shallop first. The island is uninhabited and wooded.
    The men travel to the mainland, near the area where Plymouth Rock is. They are impressed by the location. The shallop returns to the Mayflower, and the Mayflower travels to the area of Plymouth Rock.
    The shallop ferries men from the Mayflower to land. After considering both Clark Island and the mainland location, the passengers vote to make their settlement on the mainland near Plymouth Rock.
    At this location, there are high points (Cole's Hill and Watson's Hill), a creek, and the previous native inhabitants had cleared land for farms.
    The men begin to cut down trees and shape timber. On Christmas Day, 1620, the passengers are content that they have established a location that will be Plimoth Plantation.
    This film is by Jeffrey Meyer.

      @@danpatrick9080the kettle ponds are natural, formed at the end of the last Ice Age.
      All of Cape Cod is a glacial moraine created by the edge of the ice sheet. As the glaciers retreated, some large blocks of ice were left behind and created depressions which became kettle ponds.

      This is a nightmare for the natives who survived the plagues. Now albinos from the sea land like ghosts to steal their lands and rob from graves. In a way, it's like an echo of the sea peoples and the bronze age collapse. If this was a movie, I'd be rooting for the natives but knowing it's also their slow rolling Ragnarok.

    Very nicely done! In 1979 I was stationed at Cape Cod Air Force Station (Pave Paws) just South of Plymouth on Sandwich, Mass's Flatrock Hill, a very high point on the Cape. From the roof of our 10-story radar building, you could see all the places from Provincetown to Chatham, Falmouth and Plymouth. I spent the next three years exploring all these areas, following the voyages as you described them. Wish I had your videos then!

    Fascinating series of events. Excellent telling of them by you, Jeff. Thank you! They arrived pretty much at the worst possible moment, the onset of winter and its weather.

    • @JeffreytheLibrarian
      @JeffreytheLibrarian  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yes, winter is the worst time to be there. It actually took the English a while to realize how cold it would get in New England. They figured that it would be mild, because it was a lower latitude than the British Isles, so they figured it would be warmer than Britain, but it turned out to be colder.

    I grew up in Middleborough, Mass which is the area where my mother’s family settled between 1622-23. Our English predecessors are the Shiercliffe’s of England - Sheffield received its name from them.

    • @irtnyc
      @irtnyc หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dear stranger,
      I regret to inform you: someone has misinformed you about the etymology of Sheffield, England.
      The origin of Sheffield has nothing to do with your Shiercliffe ancestors. The origin of the name Sheffield is the nearby river Sheaf (“Shef”) via the Anglo-Saxon shed where the letter d makes a -th sound ie Sheth, becomes Sheaf, becomes Sheff.
      Sheffield is already a named place in Domesday Book (ie after the Normans invade in 1066) but at that time had precisely zero inhabitants. (Everyone was dead.) Conversely, Shirecliffe is a place within “metro” Sheffield - Burngreave - but historically well outside of town. (So like, saying Brooklyn gets its name from Manhattan wouldn’t make any sense. They are merely nearby but have their own histories, and in different languages to boot.) Shirecliffe comes into named-existence much later, and for a long time was one hall (manor house) held by, among others, the Thwaites family. Some descendants of Thwaites coincidentally emigrated to colonial New England. I happen to have Thwaites ancestors in my family tree so I know this history.
      Separately, the etymology of Thwaites, and Feld, and the germanic name root Schier are all roughly the same: to clear, the clearing (of land), the felling (of trees); or, sometimes, clear as in pure. This may be a coincidence or may be indicative that different family names emerge from the same place and occupations over time, as the languages of the occupants/invaders change. In the case of Yorkshire that happened very many times: from Britonic languages, to Anglo/Saxon, to various versions of English, to Danish, to Norman-French etc. This is one of the most-conquered places in Europe, nevermind Britain.
      Lastly, the spelling Shier is either from southern England (Sussex: Shear, Shire) or a spelling morph of the Germanic Schier, which may be the same as the Yiddish name which is occupational (to teach the Talmud) as far as I know. Lastly, the suffix -Cliffe is about as English as it gets, and means what it sounds like, but also could be: coastline, shore, slope etc. This sort of makes sense as Sheffield is the confluence (or portage between) the ancient rivers Sheaf and Don; and Shirecliffe is right on the Don just north of town where a cleared forest slopes down to the river…
      Cheers,

    I'm actually weeping for their perseverance and determination to survive, for their cooperation, for their faith, etc. Calling someone a pilgrim is the highest of compliments.

    It is so much more instructive to get this day-by-day diary of events. It really makes their trials and tribulations come alive. I don't know why, but I didn't realize that along with muskets, they would have had axes, saws and shovels... all common tools of that time. And, wow, what a stroke of luck (for them) that the natives had already cleared land... and buried stores of seed.... and then died off, leaving much behind.

    • @JeffreytheLibrarian
      @JeffreytheLibrarian  หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Bradford and Winslow in "Mourt's Relation" state [original spelling used]:
      "Not farre from this place we found the remainder of an old Fort, or Palizide, which as we conceived had beene made by some Christians".
      Nathaniel Philbrick says that this fort "must have been Martin Pring's seventeen-year-old fort." Pring had explored the area in 1603.

    I might be wrong but didn't the Mayflower start at Harwich in Essex. But the ship was so leaky that it had to put into Plymouth for repairs before heading out across the Atlantic.
    I'm from Colchester Essex and some of my ancestors sailed on the Mayflower.
    You are welcome.

    • @JeffreytheLibrarian
      @JeffreytheLibrarian  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      You might be thinking of the Speedwell. There were initially two ships, the Mayflower and the Speedwell, and they did have to stop a few times, first at Southampton, then Dartmouth, then Plymouth. The Speedwell was determined to be not seaworthy, so the Mayflower became the sole ship for the expedition.

    Thank you Jeff. Great presentation. Can you explain a bit about the other fishermen mentioned? Did they live in Maine and/or present day Canada, and if so, didn't they set up settlements or did they live on their boats? I can't understand how you go 3,000 miles to fish, and even if you are able to fill your hold with fish, to whom do you sell them? Thanks, Tom

    • @JeffreytheLibrarian
      @JeffreytheLibrarian  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      By the late 1500s there are fishermen catching cod from Newfoundland to Cape Cod. I have read that these fishermen had camp structures in this area. The cod fishing industry was a major economy. The cod in North America--it is said--were so numerous that one could attach a box to a rope, drop it in, and pull up a box full of cod. The fisheries had so much economic clout that fishing rights were part of the treaties between empires, including the conclusion of the American Revolution. In addition to transporting the cod back to Europe, they probably also traded with the natives.

    One interesting thing people often don’t consider about the first settlers in America or in the Massachusetts bay colony is when the settlers landed at Plymouth. It would’ve been possible to visit the towns of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Saint Augustine, Florida. Both towns which has been established for decades at the time of the first pilgrims.

    Boston born grew up on the coast between the city and Plymouth, every weekend my parents would bring us to see the Rock, Again, but I loved it, the hill right behind the rock, the brooks that run into harbor and Plymouth harbor is probably the prettiest harbor I've ever been to, it's got deep channels, well protected by these spits of land that shoot out into ocean, it's underrated because you have to go out through the harbor to appreciate the entire area.
