What were the names of the two ships that left England carrying pilgrims?
There was actually three boats that the Pilgrims used to come to America. The three boats were the Pinta, Santa Maria, and most importantly, the Mayflower. Most of the Pilgrims rode on the Mayflower because she was the largest.
The first slave ship is named?
Sir John Hawkins had the dubious distinction of becoming the first slave-ship captain to bring Africans to the Americas. His ship was called "the good ship Jesus".
The black slave who would later captain a Union ship?
Robert Smalls, 1839-1915. Captain of the transport ship USS Planter. After the war he became a member of the US House of Representatives from South Carolina.
What was the name of Captain John Smith's Ship?
The Discovery, Susan Constant and the Godspeed.
How much money did it cost to go on the Mayflower?
I tried to find the answer to this question and didn't come up with the cost of the trip. I did find out that a 60 ton ship the Speedwell was bought by the Piligrams, but not used and that the Mayflower was leased. It had been used for shipping wine, was 3 masted and 180 tons. The individuals on the ship did not pay for passage from what I can figure out.
