How many sailings to America did the Mayflower do?

Why were the pilgrims delayed twice on their trip to America?

They left Holland for England. The Mayflower & the Speedwell. There was a short delay in England due to port charges. The passengers had to sell many of their items to pay for the charges. After venturing out to sea, it was found that the Speedwell was not seaworthy. They had to turn back. That was the second delay.

Why did the first pilgrims colonists find much of the cleared land abandoned?

The colony of Roanoke, about 120 people (including 11 children), was established by the British in the late 1500's. The ship returned to Britain needing to bring back supplies. It was three years before a return trip could be made. Roanoke was found neatly and carefully disassembled, lending credence to the theory that they willingly left. One strong theory is that those earlier colonists assimilated into the local native cultures, leaving the area. When the pilgrims arrived in 1620, they found that there were native peoples with grey eyes and light hair among the tribes, and some English was known.

Who was the one to pay for the pilgrims trip to come to north America and why?

Most of the pilgrims who made the first trip were Separatist farmers and their families. They were very poor, mostly uneducated. They had very little money to invest in a trip that took them across the Atlantic. The group of pilgrims intent on starting a new life went to a man named Thomas Weston. Weston was a very, very successful and wealthy iron merchant in London. The pilgrims place their trust in Weston, who formed a "join-stock" company to handle all financial matters. Weston promised the pilgrims that he himself and no one else- would be able to fully fund the trip. The pilgrims agreed to Weston's proposal and agreement was signed. The negotiations were very long and exceptionally complicated. When Weston and the other members agreed to finance the trip, they would purchase shares so that they could remain in Britain whilst the Colonists agreed to contribute their services at a certain flat fee. Basically, they would work as traders, fisherman and farmers for seven years, sending back furs, timer, and other resources so that Weston and the others could sell and therefore profit from it. All of their profits would be placed in a common "stock fund", no land would be assigned to anyone.
