The Story of Mayflower
The name of Mayflower was closely associated with the transatlantic crossing of 1620 and the history of English settlers in North America. According to the source material, 30 crew members and 102 passengers were traveling on the ship. The original ship may have been approximately 30 meters long and approximately 7.6 meters wide. Many of the specifications are only estimates, as the full documentation for the Mayflower has not survived. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
