Pilgrims undertook the Mayflower voyage primarily to escape religious persecution in England, where they faced discrimination for their Separatist beliefs. They sought the freedom to practice their faith without interference, and the New World offered an opportunity to establish a new community based on their principles. Additionally, they aimed to create a society that aligned with their vision of a pious and self-governing community.
The Mayflower
The Mayflower was the name of the ship that the Pilgrims sailed on. The Ship, before the Pilgrims' Voyage, was used predominantly as a cargo ship.
The discrepancy arises from the fact that there were originally 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower, but one of the crew members, a man named Oceanus Hopkins, was born at sea during the voyage. Therefore, when the Mayflower landed, there were 103 individuals associated with the ship: 102 pilgrims and one newborn.

The stockholders, primarily members of the Merchant Adventurers, agreed to finance the Pilgrims' voyage by pooling their resources to cover the costs of the expedition, including the purchase of the Mayflower and supplies for the journey. In return for their investment, the stockholders sought a share of the profits from any goods or resources the Pilgrims could produce in the New World. This financial arrangement was crucial in enabling the Pilgrims to undertake their journey to America in 1620.

The voyage on the Mayflower was arduous and challenging, with passengers enduring harsh conditions and storms at sea. Many passengers fell ill, and some died during the voyage. However, the Mayflower successfully reached its destination in North America, where the Pilgrims established the Plymouth Colony.

The Mayflower and the Speedwell were the ships the first Pilgrims sailed on. Both set sail for the New World on August 15, 1620, but were forced back twice due to dangerous leaks on the Speedwell. The Speedwell's passengers regrouped on the Mayflower, and on September 16th, the voyage began, a month behind schedule. The Mayflower landed near what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.
The people on the Mayflower were Pilgrims and strangers.
