I thought I would share a little history for this blog. On August 5, 1620, the Mayflower and Speedwell set sail from Southampton, England to begin the long trip across the ocean to the New World. When they had sailed a short distance, they found a leak in Speedwell. So they stopped at Dartmouth, England to fix it and quickly set sail again. Speedwell started leaking again, so they stopped at Plymouth and left the ship there. Those who wanted to keep going on to the New World, went on the Mayflower and landed at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620.
