The famous governor of Plymouth Colony was William Bradford, who later wrote the history of their journey. He was not, however, the first governor of Plymouth, nor the "governor of the Mayflower." John Carver was voted, or confirmed, governor of Plymouth Colony after the signing of the Mayflower Compact. He died during the first year and Bradford was elected. There was also Christopher Martin who was "governor" of the Mayflower, something that had been decided before departure. This only meant he had been put in charge of getting provisions and organizing, though he was heavily criticized for his lack of skills by Bradford and others.
