We left England on August 5th, 1620, with two boats: 90 passengers on the Mayflower, and 30 on the Speedwell.
Our intention was that the Speedwell would permanently stay with the Pilgrims in America. We could use it to explore the area, for fishing voyages, transportation, etc. But the Mayflower will not be staying in America.
Not long after we left, the Speedwell began to leak and we realized it was not properly suited for open ocean travel. Its captain (Reynolds) was worried that the ship would not make it to the New World. Here the Captain of the Mayflower (Jones) talks with the Captain of the Speedwell (Reynolds):
DECISION: We are passengers on the Speedwell. We have been told that the Speedwell is going back to England. We can go back with it, or we can get on the Mayflower. But if we go on the Mayflower, it will be overcrowded. We will be stranded in America after it drops us off. What do we do and why?
