As they were sailing westward in heavy seas, a large wooden beam on the ship broke, and had it not been repaired, they might have had to turn back. But there was no popular sentiment to return home, even after more than half of the Pilgrims died when they spent the winter of 1620-1621 aboard the ship, anchored at Cape Cod (until December) and then in New Plymouth harbor.
