Departure
We set sail from England anxious for arrival in the New World. With our ships packed to the fullest with supplies, food and passengers, the upcoming storms seemed to be forgotten. Abandoning out old lives with hopes of building new ones, all for God, made the soon to be treacherous voyage all worth it. -
Harassment Among Passengers
Bradford records the events and happenings on this day. One angry and terroristic man would not stop shouting, drinking, and insulting other passengers. People become upset and furious with this man's obnoxious antics The man fell very ill and died soon after the incidents. He was promptly thrown overboard. -
Shipwreck Fears
Fears of storms became reality recently. Our ship was caught in a ferocious thungerstorm. Everybody aboard could only pray for forgivneness, knowing this storm was God's punishment for our sins. The storm took a toll on the ship's main, it had begun to break and giveway. Luckily, we had a hardy bolt that we used for repairing the breaking, vital, component of the ship -
Land HO!
We have landed. It is bitter cold. People are dying. There is very little food rations and not everybody has finished their homes and shelters. We havenβt encountered any native people. We are thankful for that. They have been posing a threat to us. Men, women, and children are dying by the day. This winter has been long and miserable. I am unsure if we will survive. God be with us.
