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.

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.
