And the captain, the master of the ship, doesn't even want to let them get off the ship because he thinks that some of them are going to run away because there's a lot of discontent around what's going on and people start to lose their nerves. So they manage to fix the ship and they set sail again, both of the ships, the Mayflower and the Speedwell.

Yeah, so I think squashed is probably the way to describe it. Yeah, there wouldn't have been a lot of space. The fact that they had carried wine on the ship, it has been described as a sweet-smelling ship. I think there could have been worse things that it could have carried. So I guess that was not as unpleasant as it could have been.

I think the other thing to note about the voyage, which is a positive for the pilgrims and perhaps one of the reasons why the story has become so successfully well known, is the fact that not a lot of them died on the way over. So although the conditions would have been harsh and hard and difficult, there wasn't rampant disease on that journey.

It was certainly challenging after they got over to America. But unlike other voyages that had been happening around that time, there wasn't a vast amount of sickness that was happening. So it is worth noting that.

So they set off again into the Atlantic and it turns out that the repairs that they'd made to the speedwell were really not good enough and it continued to leak. One of them wrote about how it was open and leaky as a sieve. So that's not really something that you want to be travelling over all the way across the Atlantic on. So they decided to come back again.

And this time they pull in in Plymouth, which is, again, further along on the south coast of England. And they are there fairly briefly and ultimately decide that the speedwell isn't going to make it. Bear in your mind, this is the ship that they bought for the voyage.
