The voyage begins
The troubles of the voyage ahead begin for the pilgrims. They gather on a ship in search of their new life, leaving everything as they know it. -
Facing Sickness
Left and right people were sick, and positions to keep the ship going were being filled. Sea sickness played a huge part as a murderer during the voyage and the pilgrims didnt know it yet but they were bringing over new sicknesses to their new land, which wasnt okay to the group of people already living there. People labored all day to help the ill become better, they washed their god awful vomit villed and fecses smudged clothing, and looked after them to the best of their ability. -
THE SPOTTING!
They spot Cape Cod, they are relieved from the miseries that they were brought during this voyage and the worries that weighed down their shoulders. Eager to begin their new lives and to set foot on land again, but reminding themselves that they have to start all over because they have nothing.. they have to start from scratch and reality started to set in. -
The Wreckage- Beyond Scared
They encountered many fierce storms with crosswinds, and where theres rough and wild winds theres bound to be damage left behind.. especially when you are on the rough seas. One of the ships main beams in the midships had bowed due to the aggressivness of the storm. It scared the people, because they werent sure if the ship would be able to continue the rest of the voyage, and hold out until they reached their new lives. -
Mission Complete
fter a long and hard voyage to get to their new land to embrace and express their dreams and to start their new lives they land at Plymouth Harbor - Dec 16, 1620 taken over bu excitment, little do they know that someone else lerks around their new land too.. two groups of people who will leave a legacy within history. -
Indian Relations
The battles and problems had just begun with the Indians, things such as promises to not injure anyone of the opposite community and if that promise was broken an offender would be sent, and something would be done about it. If any unjustky war againt them, they would aid them, sending neighboring confederates to certify them and compromising with conditions of peace, to leave their bows and arrows behind them when approached. To try and be civil, which was nearly impossible at this point. -
The First Thanksgiving Harvest
Both groups gathered together, and united as one after the struggles of sharing land and learning to give and take what they could to make it work. They fit up their houses and dwellings about winter and they all recovered in health and had all things in good plenty. In the fall of 1621 history was made when the specific day that the Plymouth colonists' first thanksgiving occured. For three days, Massasiot and almost a hundred of his men joined the Pilgrims, feasting and plaing games, united.
