The American Dream

The Mayflower on her maiden voyage to a new world roughed hard seas as they heaved and dipped with 40ft swells. The pilgrams held tight while many looked to the stars for navigation. Their hearts heavy and their minds race with the faces of loved ones left behind.

To extreme misfortune the sister ship, Speedwell, could not hold as she had sprang many leaks and suffered from a complicated build. "We lie here waiting for as fair a wind as can blow... Our victuals will be half eaten up, I think, before we go from the coast of England"
Disaster had been anticipated but when it arrived the ship was not secure.

At sea September brought dangerous western gales and provisions ran deadly short. The pilgrims aboard the Mayflower were feeling very worn out. The seas were brutal. At one point the ship became almost completely disabled which could have been disastrous for the mission if it weren't for the quick ingenuity of the crew to repair and strengthen the vessel.

There was a new world waiting for them, but not just the pilgrams(a mere 132 souls), the entire world would discover. Could they even imagine?

Bitcoin, my dear mayflower.
