ERRORS and other facts: 1) One passenger, William Butten, died during the voyage (not noted by article) 2) Plymouth Colony was NOT the first permanent English colony in the New World, Jamestown was settled in 1607, thirteen years before the Plymouth colony 3) Only 41 of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower were Pilgrims, the other 61 were called 'strangers" by the Pilgrims and were hired skilled craftsmen and indentured servants 4) The Mayflower Compact was drafted because the original charter given to the Pilgrims by the Virginia Company was null and void because the Pilgrims were in the wrong location. 5) The first "Thanksgiving celebration" was held in Virginia on December 4, 1619 6) Strange that in your list of ships to visit don't include the "Susan Constant", the "Godspeed" and the "Discovery", at Jamestown, Virginia.
