it sunk and the people got on the mayflower.
The 102 passengers stayed on the ship while they made houses and began to clear fields. As soon as they were done the ship left for England leaving the 63 Pilgrims behind. Christopher Jones, who commanded the Mayflower on its famous voyage to Plymouth, Massachusetts, died in 1622. Within two years of his death, the ship had fallen into disrepair and was likely broken up and sold for scrap lumber.
Of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower, about 50 died by the summer of 1621. Many of them died during January and February, while the ship lay at anchor in Plymouth harbor, as they had not constructed sufficient houses on shore before winter set in.
It was signed on the Mayflower while it was anchored in Provincetown Harbor on November 11th, 1620.
According to Wikipedia, the Mayflower left England on 6 September 1620 with 102 passengers. 50 of them were "pilgrims" who would help establish Plymouth Colony. Also on board were two dogs. One baby was born during the voyage and one was born on board ship while it was docked in America but before the colony was founded.
The Mayflower's main hull was approximately 18 feet longer than its keel. The keel, which is the structural base of the ship, measured about 80 feet in length, while the overall length of the main hull was around 98 feet. This difference in length contributed to the ship's stability and seaworthiness during its historic voyage.

The Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact while still aboard the ship on November 11, 1620. This was the first governing document of the Plymouth Colony.
I have never read of any damage on the Mayflower. It did get blown off course and that is how they ended up in Plymouth and some months later it did return to England with Capt and crew. I know the Pilgrims lived on the Mayflower while they looked for a place to settle and while they were building the colony.
They created the Mayflower Compact while aboard the ship.
