I have a ton of ancestors who made this journey, pre-revolutionary war, and at least one on this ship. It is fascinating and shocking that so many of my ancestors survived for years, after simply surviving the very journey itself. Lovely to hear your reflections.
I have several ancestors (including John Howland - who was a passenger - not a seaman) who were on the Mayflower. Interesting video - couple glitches. They were NOT heading for Cape Cod. They were heading for Northern Virginia (which would have - at that time - included the Hudson River at today's NYC - which was their destination of choice. When Capt. Jones tried to go south from Cape Cod they ran into the dangerous shoaling waters of Pollack Rip and Jones turned the Mayflower around - which led to the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth - rather than the Hudson River.
I, too, have several ancestors who took that voyage. Yes, John being one. It is strange to think if he hadn’t been retrieved, you, I and countless others would not exist.
