THE MAYFLOWER

BASICS

In 1620, the Mayflower sailed from England across the Atlantic Ocean.

102 men, women, and children were on board of the ship.

They wanted to start a new life.

Two months later, the ship reached North America.

Here, the people built houses.

Some religious people were later called the Pilgrims.

They thanked God and the native people who helped them to survive.

They called that celebration Thanksgiving.
