Thanksgiving Mayflower

What is the Mayflower

Well, what do you think the Mayflower was? It was a ship that led pilgrims all the way from England to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. On their journey there were many negative and positive things that happened. People got sick and died from illnesses, some people starved to death, and during a very bad storm, one of the beams cracked causing a discussion of turning back. Something amazing that happened was, a baby named, Oceanus Hopkins, was born on the voyage. Another example of a positive thing that happenend was when the pilgrims finally saw that they had reached Cape, Cod Massachusetts. So basically, the mayflower was a very important piece of wood that led people to success.


What Did the Mayflower Include?
 
     There were many parts to the Mayflower. There were three floors to the ship. An upperdeck, a gun deck, and the cargo hold. Those were three main parts that made the Mayflower what it was. The upperdeck was the place where everyone would really stay and watch. That was where you had to do your buisness as well. The gun deck is where the cannon were located. On merchant ships, this deck was used to hold additional cargo. In the Mayflower's case, the gun deck is where the passengers lived on the voyage to America. The cargo hold was where the Pilgrims would have stored their cargo of food, tools, and supplies during the voyage. Like I said before, the resources would have gone low and people starved to death.
