Mayflower
Did the journey from europe go unexpected
The Mayflower set sail September 1620.
There is no documented evidence that two dogs died on the Mayflower during its journey to America. The only known pet aboard the Mayflower was a dog named "Butten," belonging to William Butten, a servant of Samuel Fuller. However, there is no mention of Butten's fate or any other dogs on the ship perishing during the journey.
The Speedwell was a ship that sailed with the Mayflower in 1620, but there is no record of a specific captain for the Speedwell. The ship did encounter problems and was ultimately deemed unseaworthy, leading some passengers to transfer to the Mayflower for the journey to the New World.
During the voyage to America they subscribed to a covenant for self-government called Mayflower Compact (after the name of the ship).
whilst on the journey one of the problems were that a lot of people were dying. because of the diseases.
Of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower, 2 died before landing at present-day Cape Cod. They spent the winter on the Mayflower, since they did not have housing, and after suffering scurvy, pneumonia and tuberculosis, only 53 were alive in the spring.
