Detailed explanation-1: -That’s what the Pilgrims did in the year 1620, on a ship called Mayflower. Mayflower set sail from England in July 1620, but it had to turn back twice because Speedwell, the ship it was traveling with, leaked. After deciding to leave the leaky Speedwell behind, Mayflower finally got underway on September 6, 1620.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly 40 of these passengers were Protestant Separatists-they called themselves “Saints”-who hoped to establish a new church in the so-called New World. Today, we often refer to the colonists who crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower as “Pilgrims.”
Detailed explanation-3: -And I discovered some interesting facts. The lily of the valley, still known as mayflower in many areas, inspired the name of the ship the Mayflower.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Mayflower was a well-known merchant trading vessel with special significance in American and British history. In 1620, this ship ferried 102 passengers and around 30 crew members from Plymouth in England, to Massachusetts in the US. They set up many permanent New England colonies in North America.
