| Notes |
- "Now in this year 1629, a great company of people of good rank, zeal, means and quality have made a great stock, and with six good ships in the months of April and May, they set sail from Thames for the Bay of the Massachusetts, otherwise called Charles River. The fleet consisted of, the George Bonaventure of twenty pieces of ordnance; the Talbot nineteen; the Lion's Whelp eight; the Mayflower fourteen; the Four sisters fourteen and the Pilgrim four, with 350 men women and children, also 115 head of cattle, as horses, mares, cows and oxen, 41 goats, some conies (rabbits), with all provision for household and apparel, 6 pieces of great ordnance for a fort, with muskets, pikes, corselets, drums, colors, and with all provisions necessary for a plantation for the good of man."
(The True Travels, Adventures and Observations of Captain John Smith —London 1630)
"The inhabitants yet: first settled in this place and brought it into the denomination of an English Towne, was in Anno 1629 as follows, viz: Ralph Sprague; Richard Sprague; William Sprague; John Meech; Simon Hoyte; Abraham Palmer; Walter Palmer; Nicholas Stower; John Stickline. Thomas Walford Smith yet lived here alone before. Mr. Graves who had charge of some of the servants of the Company of Patentees with whom he built the great house this year for such of the said Company as are shortly to come over which afterwards became the Meeting house. And Mr. Bright Minister to the Companies Servants."
"By whom it was jointly agreed and concluded that this place on the north side of Charles River, by the natives called Mishawum, shall henceforth from the name of the river, be called Charlestown, which was also confirmed by Mr. John Endicott, governor."
HIGGINSON'S JOURNAL OF HIS VOYAGE.
A true Relation of the last Voyage to New England, made the last summer, begun the 25th of April, being Saturday, Anno Domini, 1629.
The Company of New England, consisting of many worthy gentlemen in the city of London, Dorchester and other places, aiming at the glory of God, the propagation of the Gospel of Chist, the conversion of the Indians, and the enlargement of the King's Majesty's dominions in America, and being authorized by his royal patents for that end, at their very great costs and charge furnished five ships to go to New-England, for the further settling of the English Plantation that they had alread begun there.
NAMES OF THE SHIPS
The names of the five ships were as followeth:
The first is called the Talbot, a good and strong ship, of three hundred tons, and nineteen pieces of ordnance, and served with thirty marines. This ship carried above a hundred planters, six goats, five great pieces of ordnance, with meal, oatmeal, pease, and all manner of munition and provision for the Plantation for a twelvemonth.
The second the George, another strong ship also, about three hundred tons, twenty pieces of ordnance, served with about thirty mariners. Her chief carriage were cattle, twelve mares, thirty kine, and some goats. Also, she had in her fifty-two planters, and other provision.
The third is called the Lion's Whelp, a neat and nimble ship, of a hundred and twenty tons, eight pieces of ordnance, carrying in her many mariners and above forty planters, specially from Dorchester and other places thereabouts, with provision and four goats.
The fourth is called The Four Sisters, as I hear, of about three hundred tons; which fair ship carried many cattle, with passengers and provision.
The fifth is called the Mayflower, carrying passengers and provision.
Now amongst these five ships, the George having some special and urgent cause of hastening her passage set sail before the rest, about the midst of April. And the Four Sisters and the Mayflower, being not thoroughly furnished, intended as we heard, to set forth about three weeks after us. But we that were in the Talbot and the Lion's Whelp, being ready for our voyage, by the good hand of God's providence, hoisted up sail from Gravesend on Saturday the 25th of April, about seven o'clock in the morning. Having but a faint wind we could not go far that day, but at night we anchored against Leigh, which is twelve miles from Gravesend, and there we rested that night, and kept Sabbath the next day.
THE SHIPS DROP DOWN THE THAMES
On Monday we set forward and came to the Flats, a passage somewhat difficult by reason of the narrowness of the channel and shallowness of the water; and going over this we were in some danger; for our ship being heavy laden and drawing deep water, was sensibly felt of us all to strike three or four times on the ground. But the wind blowing somewhat strong, we were carried swiftly on, and at last, by God's blessing, came safe to anchor at Gorin road.
Tuesday we went a little further, and anchored over against Margate town, staying for a wind for the Downs.
THE SHIPS IN THE DOWNS 1629.
Wednesday, we came safely, though with much turning and tacking, through the Gulls, into the Downs and stayed that night. April 30th. Thursday, Friday and Saturday the wind blew hard from south-west, and caused our ship to dance; and divers of our passengers, and my wife especially, were sea-sick. Here the King's ship, called the Assurance pressed two of our mariners. Here we saw many porpoises playing in the sea, which they say is a sign of foul weather.
3. Sabbath Day, a windy day and cold. We kept Sabbath, staying still at the Downs.
4. Monday, God sent us a fair gale of wind, north-north-east, whereby we came merrily from the Downs; and passing Dover, we saw six or seven sail of Dunkirker's wafting after us. But it seemed thy saw our company was too strong for them, for then we had with us three or four ships that went for the Straits; so they returned back from pur-suing us any longer. But sailing with a good wind, we went speedily, and at night came near the Isle of Wight; but being dark, we durst not put into the channel, but put back for sea-room four hours, and then other four hours sailed back again the same way.
THE SHIPS AT COWES
1629. Tuesday, early in the morning, we entered the channel, the wind being weak and calm, and passed by Portsmouth very slowly; but in the afternoon the wind quickened, and we were forced to anchor a little on this side Cowcastle; but the wind growing more favor-able, we weighed and came to anchor again right against Cowcastle, thinking to stay that night, the wind being very calm. Here I and my wife and my daughter, Mary, and two maids, and some others with us, obtained of the master of the ship to go ashore to refresh us and to wash our linens; and so we lay at Cowes that night. But the wind turning when we were absent, they hoisted sail and left us there, and anchored eight miles further, over against Yarmouth, about eight of the clock at night.
Wednesday, betime in the morning, the shallop was sent from the ship to fetchus to Yarmouth. But the water proved rough and our women desired to be set on shore three miles short of Yarmouth; and so went on foot by land, and lodged in Yarmouth that night.
On Thursday and Friday, there master Beecher, (Thomas Beecher commanded the same vessel, the Talbot, in Winthrop's fleet, the next year. He was one of the early members of the church of Boston, and was admitted freeman Nov 6, 1632. He settled at Charlestown and his name, with his wife's, Christian, stands 2nd on the list of those who subscribed the covenant of the church in that place, Nov. 2, 1632, having been dismissed for that purpose from Boston Church, Oct 14. He was one of the first Selectmen of Charlestown and was one of its Representatives at the first Court of Deputies held May 14, 1634 and again in 1635 and 1636. In May, 1635, he was appointed by the General Court a captain of the fort at Castle Island. He died in 1637.)
THE SHIPS AT YARMOUTH.
allowed by the Company, gave me forty shillings to make our provision of what things we would for the voyage.
May 9. Saturday. We went to board again; and this day we had two other men pressed to serve the King's ship; but we got one again by entreaty.
May 10. The Sabbath, next day, we kept the ship, where I preached in the morning, and in the afternoon was entreated to preach at Yarmouth; where Mr. Meare and Captain Borley entertained us very kindly, and earnestly desired to be certified of our safe arrival in New England, and of the state of the country.
May 11. Monday morning, blew a fair wind from east south-east; and the Lion's Whelp having taken in all her provision for passengers, about three of the clock in the afternoon we hoisted sail for the Needles, and by God's guidance safely passed that narrow pass-age a little after four o'clock in the afternoon; and being entered into the sea, from the top of the mast we discerned four sail ships lying southward from us. But night was coming on, we took in our long-boat and
FAREWELL TO ENGLAND.
shallop, and the next day we had a fair gale of easterly wind, that brought us towards night as far as the Lizard.
May 13, 1629. Wednesday, the wind holding easterly, we came as far as the Land's End, in the utmost part of Cornwall, and so left our dear native soil of England behind us, and sailing ten leagues further, we passed the isles of Scilly, and launched the same day a great way into the main ocean. And now my wife and other passengers began to feel the tossing waves of the western sea, and so were very sea-sick. And this is to be noted, that all this while our passage hath been upon the coast of England, and so ought truly to be accounted the first day of our parting with Old England.
Thursday the same easterly wind blew all day and night, and the next day, so that some of the seamen thought we were come by this time two hundred leagues from England; but toward night the wind was calm.
Saturday we were becalmed all day. This day met us a little ship of Bristol, that came from Christopher islands.
THE FIRST SABBATH AT SEA.
Sabbath, being the first Lord's day we held at sea, was very calm, especially in the morning. But we were disturbed in our morning service by the approach of a Biscayner's ship, a man-of-war, that made towards us, and manned out his boat to view us; but finding us too strong for him, he durst not venture to assault us, but made off.
This day my two children, Samuel and Mary, began to be sick of the small-pox and purples together, which was brought into the ship by one Mr. Browne, which was sick of the same at Graveend; whom it pleased God to make the first occasion of bringing that contagious sickness among us, wherewith many were after afflicted.
18th. Monday calm still, the wind being north-west, blowing a little towards evening, but contrary to our course.
19th. Tuesday wind south-west, as little helpful as the former, and blowing very weak. This day the Master of the ship, myself and another, went aboard the Lion's Whelp, where Mr. Gibbs made us welcome with bountiful entertainment. And this day, towards night, my daughter grew sicker, and many blue spots were seen on her breast, which affrighted us. At the first we thought they had been the plague tokens; but we found afterwards that it was only a high measure of the infection of the pocks, which were struck again into the child;
MARY HIGGINSON DIES.
and so it was God's will the May 19, 1629 child died about five of the clock at night, being the first in the ship that was buried in the bowels of the great Atlantic sea; which, as it was a grief to us, her parents, and a terror to all the rest, as being the beginning of a contagious disease and mortality, so in the same judgment it pleased God to remember mercy in the child, in freeing it from a world of misery, wherein otherwise she had lived all her days. For being about four years old, a year since, we know not by what means, swayed in the back, so that it was broken and grew crooked and the joints of her hips were loosed, and her knees went crooked, pitiful to see. Since which time she hath had a most lamentable pain in her belly, and would often cry out in the day in her sleep also, "My belly!" which declared some extraordinary distempter. So that in respect of her we had cause to take her death as a blessing from the Lord to shorten her misery.
Wednesday a wet morning. The wind was west south-west, and in the afternoon north-west and by west, both being contrary to our course, which was to sail west and by south. Thus it pleased God to lay his hand upon us by sickness and death and contrary winds; and stirred up some of us to make the motion of humbling ourselves under the hand of God by keeping a solemn day of fasting and prayer unto God, to beseech him to remove the continuance and further increase of these evils from us; which was willingly con-descended unto, as a duty very fitting and needful for our present state and condition.
A FAST KEPT ON BOARD.
1629. Thursday, there being two ministers in the ship, Mr. Smith and myself, we endeavored, together with others, to consecrate the day as a solemn fasting and humiliation to Almighty God, as a furtherance of our present work. And it pleased God the ship was becalmed all day, so that we were freed from any incumbrance. And as soon as we had done prayers, (see and behold the goodness of God!) about seven o'clock at night the wind turned to north-east, and we had a fair gale that night as a manifest evidence of the Lord's hearing our prayers. I heard some of the mariners say, they thought this was the first sea-fast that ever was kept, and that they never heard of the like per-formed at sea before.
Friday the wind fair, and east northerly, and for our purpose for New England. It did blow strongly, and carried us on amain with tossing waves, which did affright them that were not wonted to such sights.
23rd. Saturday the same wind blowing, but more gently. Now we were comforted with hope of my son Samuel's recovery of the pox.
24th The second Lord's day, a fair day, an orderly wind, and prosperous.
25th On Monday a fair, firm gale, the wind south south-west.
26th Tuesday, about ten of the clock in the morning, whilst we were at prayers, a strong and sudden blast came from the north, that hoisted up the waves, and tossed us more than ever before, and held us all the day till towards night, and then abated by little and little till it was calm. This day Mr. Goffe's great dog fell overboard and could not be recovered.
[footnote: Why, Mr. Goffe's great dog was sent over to the Colony, it is difficult to surmise, unless it was to defend the sheep from the wolves. There is a naivete' in relating this incident, which is quite noticeable. Mr. Goffe's great dog, buried in his watery grave, has thus become indissolubly connected with the history of the Colony, as much as the Deputy Governor himself, and they will go down to posterity together.]
A TERRIBLE STORM.
May 27, 1629. Wednesday the wind still north, and calm in the morning; but about noon there arose a south wind which increased more and more, so that it seemed to us, that are land-men, a sore and terrible storm; for the wind blew mightily, the rain fell vehemently, the sea roared and the waves tossed us horribly; besides, it was fearful dark, and the mariners' mate was afraid, and noise on the other side, with their running here and there, loud crying one to another to pull at this and that rope. The waves poured themselves over the ship, that the two boats were filled with water, that they were fain to strike holes in the midst of them to let the water out. Yea, by the violence of the waves the long-boat's cord, which held it, was broken and it had like to have been washed overboard, had not the mariners, with much pain and danger, recovered the same. But this lasted not many hours, after which it became a calmish day. All which while I lay close and warm in my cabin, but far from having list to sleep, with Jonah; (i.5.) my thoughts were otherwise employed, as the time and place required. Then I saw the truth of the Scriptures, Psalm cvii. from the 23d to the 32d; and my fear at this time was the less, when I remembered what a loving friend of mine, a minister, accustomed to sea storms, said to me, that I might not be dismayed at such storms, for they were ordinary at sea, and it seldom falls out that a ship perished at them if it have sea room; which I the rather write, that others as well as myself, by the knowledge hereof, may be encouraged and prepared against these ordinary sea-storms.
ANOTHER FAST KEPT.
28th Thursday, south wind; calm at night.
29th On Friday a boisterous wind, blowing cross, but was allayed towards night with a shower of rain.
30th Saturday, south-west wind, but fiar and quiet.
31st Sabbath day, being the third Lord's day, fair and calm. We saw abundance of grampus fishes, two or three yards long, and a body as big as an ox.
SCURVY AND SMALLPOX.
June 1. Monday. The wind westerly and calm. But besides our being stayed by contrary winds, we began to find the temperature of the air to alter and to become more sultry and subject to unwholesome fogs. For coming now to the height of the Western Islands, some of our men fell sick of the scurvy, and others of the small-pox, which more and more in-creased; yet, thanks be to God, none died of it but my own child mentioned. And there-fore, according to our great need, we appointed another fast for the next day.
June 2. Tuesday, we solemnly celebrate another fast. The Lord that day heard us before we prayed and gave us answer before we called; for early in the morning the wind turned full east, being as fit a wind as could blow; and sitting at my study on the ship's poop, I saw many bonny fishes and porpoises
ON THE BANK OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
June 9, 1629 Tuesday the same wind held till nine o'clock in the morning, and then a great shower, which lasted till about seven at night, and then it was very calm. Here we sounded with a deep-lead line above a hundred fathom and found no bottom. This day we saw a fish called a turtle, a great and large shell-fish, swimming above the water near the ship.
10th Wednesday, wind northerly, a fine gale, but calming in the afternoon.
11th Thursday the wind at north, an easy gale and fair morning. We saw a mountain of ice, shining as white as snow, like to a great rock or cliff on the shore. It stood still, and therefore we thought it to be on ground, and to reach the bottom of the sea; for though there came a might stream from the north, yet it moved not; which made us sound, and we found a bank of forty fathom deep, where-upon we judged it to rest, and the height above was as much. We also saw six or seven pieces of ice floating on the sea, which was broken off from the former mountain. We also saw great store of water-fowl swimming by the ship within musket shot, of a pied color, and about the bigness of a wild duck, about forty in a company; the mariners call them hag-birds. Toward night came a fog, that the Lion's Whelp was lost till morning. Adn now we saw many bonitos, porpoises and grampuses, every day more and more.
[footnote - These icebergs are frequently grounded in 40 and 50 fathoms water, and in foggy weather their vicinity may be known by the intense coldness they diffuse, and by the roar of the waters breaking against them. They were now on the eastern edge of the Grand Bank of Newfoundland, which extends from about the latitude of 43 deg. to 50 or upwards. About the latitude of 45 d. its breadth is nearly four degrees. To the north-ward and southward it narrows almost to a point and seems insensibly to drop into fathomless water.]
FOGGY WEATHER.
Friday foggy and calmish, the wind northerly in the morning, but about noon it came south-east, a dainty loom-gale, which carried us six leagues a watch.
Saturday the same wind till night, and we saw great store of porpoises and grampuses. The fifth Sabbath on the 14th, the same wind. Towards noon it began to be foggy and then it rained till night. We went four or five leagues a watch.
Monday (the 15th) a fair day, but foggy; the same wind blowing, but with fresh gales, carried us seven leagues a watch. In the afternoon it blew harder, so the sea was rough, and we lost the sight of the Lion's Whelp. It being foggy, we drummed for them, and they shot off a great piece of ordnance; but we heard not one another.
Tuesday (the 16th) wind south and by east; foggy till about 10 o'clock. While we were at prayers, it cleared up about an hour, and then we saw the Lion's Whelp distant about two leagues southward. We presently tacked about to meet her, and she did the same to meet us; but before we could get together, a thick fog came, that we were long in finding each other.
This day we sounded divers times and found ourselves on another bank (on the western side of the Great Bank) at first forty fathom, after thirty-six, after thirty-three, after twenty-four. We thought it to have been the bank over against Cape Sable, but we were deceived; for we knew not certainly where we were because of the fog. After three or four hours' company we lost the Lion's Whelph again, and beat our drum and shot off a great piece of ordnance, and yet heard not of them. But perceiving the bank to grow still the shallower, we found it twenty-seven and twenty-four fathoms. Therefore, being a fog, and fearing we were too near land, we tacked about for sea-room for two or three watches and steered south-east.
17th Wednesday very foggy still and wind south and by west; and sounding, found no bottom that we could reach.
18th Thursday wind full west and contrary to us. This day a notorious wicked fellow, that was given to swearing and boasting of his former wickedness, bragged that he had got a wench with child before he came on this voyage, and mocked at our days of fast, railing and jesting against Puritans; this fellow fell sick of the pox and died. We sounded and found thirty-eight fathom, and stayed for a little to take some codfish, and feasted ourselves merrily.
THE FIRST SIGHT OF LAND
19th Friday, wind west still, a very fair, clear day. About four o'clock in the afternoon some went up to the top of the mast, and affirmed, to our great comfort, they saw land to the north-eastward.
20th June, 1629 Saturday wind south-west, a fair gale. We sounded and found forty, thirty, twenty-two and a little after no ground.
Sabbath, being the sixth Lord's day, wind westerly, but fair and calm.
Monday, June 22. Wind easterly, a fair gale. This day we saw a great deal of froth not far from us. We feared it might be some breach of water against some [ ? ]. Therefore the Master of our ship hoisted out the shallop and went with some of the men to see what it was; but found it only to be a froth carried by the stream.
Tuesday the wind north-east, a fair gail. This day we examined five beastly Sodomitical boys which confessed their wickedness, not to be named. The fact was so foul, we referred them to be punished by the Governor, when we came to New-England, who afterwards sent them back to the Company, to be punished in Old England, as the crime deserved. [see pages 90 and 93]
Wednesday, wind north-east, a fair day and clear. About nine o'clock in the morning we espied a ship about four leagues behind us, which proved the Lion's Whelp, which had been a week separated from us; we stayed for her company. This day a child of goodman Black's which had a consumption before it came to ship, died. [NOTE: This man's name was probably BLAKE The name of that ancient and respectable family, the Blakes of Dorchester, is usually found written BLACK in old family papers and records.]
This day we had all a clear and comfortable sight of America, and of the Cape Sable, that was over against us seven or eight leagues northward. Here we saw yellow gilliflowers on the sea.
CAPE ANN IN SIGHT.
June 25, 1629. In the afternoon we had a clear sight of many islands and hills by the sea shore. Now we saw abundance of mackeral, a great store of great whales puffing up water as they go; some of them came near our ship. Their greatness did astonish us that saw them not before; their backs appeared like a little island. At five o'clock at night the wind turned south-east, a fair gale. This day we caught mackerel.
ARRIVAL IN CAPE ANN HARBOUR.
June 26th Friday a foggy morning, but after clear, and wind calm. We saw many schools of mackerel, infinite multitudes on every side of our ship. The sea was abundantly stored with rockweed and yellow flowers, like gilliflowers. By noon we were within three leagues of Cape Ann; and as we sailed along the coasts, we saw hill and dale and every island full of gay woods and high trees. The nearer we came to shore, the more flowers in abundance, sometimes scattered abroad, sometimes joined in sheets nine or ten yards long, which we supposed to be brought from the low meadows by the tide. Now what with fine woods and green trees by land, and these yellow flowers painting the sea, made us all desirous to see our new paradise of New England, whence we saw such forerunning signals of fertility afar off. Coming near the harbour towards night, we tacked about for sea-room.
Saturday a foggy morning; but after eight o'clock in the morning very clear. The wind being somewhat contrary at south and by west, we tacked to and again with getting little, but with much ado. About four o'clock in the afternoon, having with much pain compassed the harbour, and being ready to enter the same (see how things may suddenly change!) there came a fearful gust of wind and rain and thunder and light-ning, whereby we were borne with no little terror and trouble to our mariners, having very much ado to loose down the sails when the fury of the storm struck us. But God, be praised, it lasted but awhile, and soon abated again. And hereby the Lord showed us he could have done with us, if it had pleased him. But, blessed be God, he soon removed this storm, and it was a fair and sweet evening.
We had a westerly wind, which brought us, between five and six o'clock, to a fine and sweet harbour, seven miles from the head point of Cape Ann. (footnote - By the head-point, the author supposes he means the part of the Cape near Thacher's Island). This harbour twenty ships may easily ride therein; where there was an island, wither four or our men with a boat went, and brought back again ripe strawberries and gooseberries and sweet single roses. Thus God was merci-ful to us in giving us a taste and smell of the sweet fruit as an earnest of his bountiful goodness to welcome us at our first arrival. This harbor was two leagues and something more from the harbor at Naimkecke, where our ships were to rest, and the Plantation is already begun. But because the passage is difficult, and night drew near, we put into Cape Ann harbour.
June 28th The Sabbath, being the first we kept in America, and the seventh Lord's day after we parted with England.
ARRIVAL AT NAIMKECK.
June 29th. Monday we came from Cape Ann to go to Naimkecke, the wind northerly. I should have told you before, that the planters spying our English colors, the Governor (John Endicott) sent a shallop with two men on Saturday to pilot us. These rested the Sabbath with us at Cape Ann; and this day, by God's blessing and their directions, we passed the curious and difficult entrance into the large, spacious harbour of Naimkecke. And as we passed along, it was wonderful to behold so many islands, replenished with thick wood and high trees and many fair, green pastures. And being come into the harbour, we saw the ship George to our great comfort, there being come on Tuesday, which was seven days before us. We rested that night with glad and thankful hearts that God had put an end to our long and tedious journey through the greatest sea in the world.
THE VOYAGE FORTY-FIVE DAYS LONG.
June 30, 1629. The next morning the Governor came aboard to our ship, and bade us kindly welcome and invited me and my wife to come on shore and take our lodging in his house, which we did accordingly.
Thus you have a faithful report, collected from day to day, of all the particulars that were worth noting in our passage.
