The Pilgrims and the Mayflower Voyage (Thanksgiving Lectures, Pt. 5)

Part five of the Thanksgiving lecture series: we take a look, first, at the Pilgrims In Holland (the Netherlands), where they established at Leiden. We then explore the voyage of the Speedwell to Southampton, England, where the Pilgrims joined the Mayflower for a transatlantic voyage, not realizing that the Mayflower would be the sole ship to make the voyage. Finally, in November 1620, the passengers disembarked off the coast of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts, to establish the colony of New Plymouth. In this lecture we'll encounter such figures as Pastor John Robinson, Elder William Brewster, Captain Myles Standish, John Carver, and future governor William Bradford.
