Mayflower departed Plymouth, England September 6, 1620. 100-foot ship had 102 passengers & crew of ~20-30.
Docked at Cape Cod on November 9, 1620 after ~2 months at sea. Original destination was Hudson River, but strong currents & dangerous shoals forced Colonists to disembark & settle in New England.
Due to widespread illness & dwindling supplies, Mayflower eventually came to anchor November 11 in Provincetown Harbor - Northern tip of Cape Cod.
Mayflower Compact was signed aboard ship on November 21 [O.S. November 11], 1620. Signing Covenant were 41 of ship's 101 passengers.
