aproximently 53 survived to celebrate "Thanksgiving". that is not what they called it then though. and many people celebrate thanksgiving with turkey now a days but that was not what had happened. wild turkeys were often way to hard tocatch so they ate a lot of deer meet and fish but they did have a coiple of turkeys.turkey was not their min dish because they couldn't kill them. so yes there was not a lot of people to celebrate this harvest time because there was a lot of disease and things of that nature that had killed off most of the pilgrims.
so there was aproximently53 survivers!
