Detailed explanation-2: -The Mayflower took 66 days to cross the Atlantic – a horrible crossing afflicted by winter storms and long bouts of seasickness – so bad that most could barely stand up during the voyage. By October, they began encountering a number of Atlantic storms that made the voyage treacherous.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ship’s itinerary The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England on September 6, 1620. It landed in Cape Cod on November 9, 1620 and sailed up the coast to Plymouth a few weeks later. The 2, 750 mile voyage lasted 66 days, which works out to an average of just 2 mph.
