Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 30., The Mayflower of the Pilgrims. (search)
tory. In the fight off Gravelines. when the Armada made a last desperate attempt to save itself from utter rout, the Mayflower's part was a prominent one. According to a recent writer in the London Graphic, the ship was one of the chief ones contributed to Queen Elizabeth's fleet by the merchants of the city of London, but Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic states that the officials of Lynnes offered the Mayflower (150 tons) to join the fleet against the dreaded Armada. The Graphic erroneously implies that the Mayflower ended her days ingloriously in the slave trade between Guinea and America. Goodwin, in refrence to this rumor, says that the slaver Mayflower was a ship of 350 tons, while the Pilgrim vessel was only 150. The latter came to Salem in 1629, and the last known of her was when she was one of a fleet that landed John Winthrop and his colonists in Charlestown in 1630.—Boston Herald. The most authentic information fixes the tonnage of the Mayflower of the Pilgrims at 120 ton
