The ship first left England on August 21, 1620 with 90 passengers. It was accompanied by the ship called Speedwell with 30 passengers. The Speedwell developed problems and after two attempts, it was decided that the Mayflower would set sail to America alone. The finally set sail on September 6, 1920. After a dramatic voyage, with a man washed overboard during a storm with wild waves, a death of natural causes and the birth of a baby, the Mayflower sighted land on November 8. The Mayflower Compact was signed by the Pilgrims on November 11. It was not until December 21, 1620 that a permanent landing was made at Plymouth Harbor. The voyage of the Mayflower was at an end.
