The Mayflower (literally Mayflower) was the ship with which the Pilgrim Fathers, who sailed on September 6, 1620 from Plymouth (England), reached the present United States at Cape Cod two months later, on November 11.
The historical period
In England, in the 1500s, the Anglican Church underwent a troubled period that led to the birth of the Calvinist church as well as smaller churches called congregations or Reformed churches. John Robinson, an Anglican priest suspended from service by the Bishop of Norwich, came into contact with a group of religious dissidents among whom were John Smyth (founder of the Baptist Church), William Brewster, and William Bradford.
Growing in number, they settled in a broad area in the Trent River valley, between the counties of Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
Internal divergences led to the division of this congregation into two branches, favored also by geographic reasons: Smyth remained in Gainsborough (Lincolnshire), while Brewster and Bradford settled near Scrooby (Nottinghamshire), with Robinson as their minister.
The persecutions carried out by the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Lincoln led the two groups to decide to emigrated to the Netherlands: Smyth to Amsterdam and Robinson to Leiden. Here the group grew under the management of Robinson and his brother-in-law, the deacon John Carver, and they stayed for over ten years.
The Robinson separatist group continued to suffer from being far from the homeland and, therefore, together they decided to emigrate to the new colonies in New England in America.
The Pilgrim Fathers, after a long negotiation, thanks to the friendship of William Brewster with Sir Edwin Sandys (treasurer and official of the first English company in Virginia, as well as responsible for the colony), obtained in 1619 a grant from the Virginia Company that secured them part of their northern zone in North America in the Hudson River valley.
They invested most of their resources, entered into a financial contract with a iron merchant, Thomas Weston, and rented a ship, which had previously belonged to the Florentine Guicciardini family, hence the name Mayflower (i.e., the lily, Florentine symbol par excellence), decided to undertake under English protection a lucrative trading venture.
The group of 102 passengers was not homogeneous: many were members of the congregation, but a number of families and other people hoping to improve their economic situation had also joined.
The voyage.
The ship was actually a three-masted galleon of about 180 tons, steered by the Pilgrim Fathers Carver and Brewster.
In September 1620 the Mayflower left Plymouth and after about two months they entered Cape Cod harbor, then Provincetown (Massachusetts) on November 11, 1620, where they formed the Mayflower Compact which gave rise to their government.
Renouncing the grant obtained, they landed on December 11 on the western coast of Massachusetts, where they founded the Plymouth Colony, officially recognized on June 1, 1621. According to tradition, the exact point where the Pilgrims first set foot on the New World is marked by Plymouth Rock, which can still be seen on the waterfront of the town.
Among the Mayflower passengers: Christopher Jones, captain and co-owner; John Alden, trip organizer and founder of the colony; John Carver, first governor; William Bradford, who was appointed governor after Carver’s death and was re-elected 30 times in a row.
The Mayflower left Plymouth on April 15, 1621 and re-anchored in the port of England on May 16.
The history is actually complicated because the name Mayflower was very common for ships at the time and the name of the shipyard that built it is not known for certain.
