One sailor and one child died on the way over. Conditions WERE awful, certainly by today's standards, but not overly horrid compared to other sailing vessels of that time. Conditions on ANY boat as a passenger were pretty bad during that era.
the weather changed once in a while but the most popular weather was the sun and the least was the snow it never really snowed on December only in the start of January or even march!
No-one drowned or died otherwise during the transatlantic voyage. Only when the crew and passengers had to stay on board when the Mayflower harboured in Cape Cod during the winter in which they arrived, half of them died. Not from falling overboard, but from diseases.
There were only two ships that sailed with the pilgrims on them. The first ship was called the Speedwell and it had to turn back because it leaked. The second ship was the Mayflower and it landed at Plymouth Rock.
It took exactly 65 days from England to Provincetown Harbor on Cape Cod.

Oceanus Hopkins and Peregrine White were born during the extended voyage of the Mayflower from September, 1620 to April, 1621, when they landed at Plymouth Rock.Oceanus Hopkins was born during the voyage from England to the Cape Cod anchorage, which lasted from September 6 to November 11, 1620. (Oceanus died in childhood.)Peregrine White was born aboard Mayflower in late November, 1620, during the winter anchorage (near present-day Provincetown Harbor). He is considered the first Pilgrim born in the New World.
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 Mayflower brought 102 people to America in a 66-day voyage. The pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Mass., on Dec. 26, 1620.
The Mayflower carried the Pilgrims to the New World.
the pilgrims came here from England to escape religious persecution in 1620
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 mayflower compact was the first document written by the pilgrims on their voyage to the new world. It was indeed a self-government contract and was in the New England Colonies.
During a voyage across deep water, "burial at sea" is performed.
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.
There were about 150 people in all on the Mayflower. The passengers counted 102. They landed on what is now Cape Cod in the winter, so passengers and crew lived on the ship until spring. The Mayflower left the Pilgrims for a voyage home in April of 1621.

It was called the Mayflower and some other ship, which was called the Speedwell, which was delayed from the voyage because of construction problems.
All the male Seperatists a.ka. the Pilgrims that survived the voyage over to America on the Mayflower. What it was basically a pact for when they finally landed they would cooperate with each other to form a working government.
