Mayflower: New England
built 605 days ago
From then on, this Mayflower sailed fairly regularly to the French ports of La Rochelle and Bordeaux, carrying cloth, hose, and rabbit skins, and bringing back wine and brandy. In 1609 she brought furs from Norway, and twice in 1614 she fetched home silks from Hamburg. On Tuesday, May 23, 1620, she docked in the Port of London from La Rochelle, the second voyage to France that year. Something more than two weeks later, Weston chartered her for the crossing to New England.

Sunday, Sept. 16, marks the anniversary of the day the Mayflower departed from England in 1620 in search of the New World. For more than two months, the passengers and crew weathered storms, sickness and starvation without taking to land -- until they ran out of beer. Beer was their primary beverage because, at that time, water could have been dangerous.

[T]here is another Mayflower belonging to Thomas Webber. On May 28, 1651, the Council of State gave Webber permission to trade with Virginia; on June 20 Mayflower arrived at the Downs en route to New England; in October she anchored in Boston. On August 27, 1653, Webber petitioned the Council of State for protection for twenty seamen against impress, and for the grant of letters of marque; on September 12 the order went out to send to Virginia the Mayflower (160 tons, 18 guns), the Bonaventure (100 tons, 14 guns), and the Hope (120 tons, 8 guns).
