      THE MAYFLOWER

      The name of the vessel in which the Pilgrim Fathers, or first colonists in New England, sailed to this country in 1620.

      The Mayflower was a vessel of 180 tons. She set sail from Southampton, England, on 5 Aug. 1620, in company with her sister ship, the Speedwell, but the courage of the captain and the crew of the latter vessel failing, both ships put back to port.
