The Mayflower passengers lacked proper medical care and therefore had problems with diseases. Also, the ship was blown off course. Instead of reaching the area called Virginia, they landed in the northern coast of the New World. Their landing location was in what is now called the state of Massachusetts. Plymouth Rock is reportedly their actual landing place, in Massachusetts.
the were going to die
whilst on the journey one of the problems were that a lot of people were dying. because of the diseases.
The Atlantic crossing took two months, but the Pilgrims arrived at Cape Cod in November and didn't start building any shelter at Plymouth until mid-December. Due to the lack of houses on land, most of the Pilgrims stayed on the Mayflower through the winter. They were afflicted with malnutrition, scurvy, pneumonia and intestinal problems that caused dehydration. Of the 102 passengers who made it to Cape Cod, 50 died during the winter of 1620.
It was called the Mayflower and some other ship, which was called the Speedwell, which was delayed from the voyage because of construction problems.
The Speedwell, was the ship that sailed with the Mayflower. It was mostly for carrying food and supplies for the Pilgrims. However, the Mayflower had to turn back and return home twice, because the Speedwell, continued to have leakage problems. So, eventually the Mayflower sailed out alone. Of course doing this, caused a shortage in food and water supplies. It also caused sickness and death for some before they landed in Massachusetts in 1620.
The Pilgrim Fathers knew how difficult settling the new land would be, and felt unity was the quality they needed most. There had already been some dissension on board the Mayflower, when some let it be known they had no obligation to obey the rules of the Pilgrims. As a result, they decided to make the Pilgrims responsible for their behavior, by preparing and getting them to sign the Mayflower Compact. Once ashore the hardships began with nearly half of their number being wiped out due to lack of food, disease and exposure.
The pilgrims faced many problems after they landed at Plymouth. Among these problems included finding shelter, food, and fighting against the elements.

Yes, there were several problems on the Mayflower. The ship was overcrowded with around 102 passengers, leading to unsanitary conditions and limited space. There were also storms that damaged the ship, causing leaks and making the journey more difficult. Additionally, there was tension and disagreement among the passengers, which resulted in the formulation of the Mayflower Compact to establish order and unity.
