And so the ship, both of the ships, made their way to Southampton to rendezvous there to then set sail together. So there had been a lot of negotiation with the adventurers. They were called the merchant adventurers, the financial backers of the voyage. And they had to have a patent, which was permission, like a contract, giving permission for them to be able to land in America to set up a colony.

So there were lots of arrangements around what that deal looked like and how how long they'd have the debt to repay. And it was the seven year debt. And things changed fairly quickly. And the negotiations shifted over the terms of the agreement for how they repaid the debt. So

In the end, it was said that they were going to have to work seven days a week for the next seven years to repay the debt. And it was a pretty harsh agreement. And it came about in that way because of the failings that were about to happen after both of the ships set sail from Southampton. Because as we all know, the Mayflower is a famous ship on a famous voyage.

Yeah, I guess there's the Victorian period image. So it's a Victorian period for us here in England of pilgrims wearing black and white with big tall hats and buckles on them, which was just an invention of the 19th century.

So you can tell a lot from the people based on what they listed as their property, what they were reading at the time and that kind of thing. And some of the clothes were different colours. They weren't all black, for example.
