Why was it necessary for some passengers to live on the docked ship for several weeks when the Mayflower first arrived?
Why was it necessary for the Mayflower to turn back twon times before its full journey began?
The Mayflower was too small, so they went back twice to find a larger ship and eventually set sail on the Speedwell instead.
The boat sailing alongside the Mayflower was leaking. After two attempts to fix it, they decided to sail without a second boat.
The first time, the ship had a faulty rudder that needed repairs. The second time, the Pilgrims realized they did not have enough food for the journey and came back for additional supplies.
English officials kept ordering the ship to come back so they could arrest several Pilgrims on board.
