• Notes

  While the Mayflower was anchored off Provincetown Harbor at the tip of Cape Cod, and while many of the Pilgrim men were out exploring and looking for a place to settle, Dorothy Bradford accidentally fell overboard, and drowned. Some theories have been postulated that she jumped overboard, but no evidence exists to support them.
