And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: How long was the Mayflower’s voyage from England to America in days?
Answer: 66 days.
Class:
Note: Sailing across 3,000 miles of open ocean, the 102 passengers of the Mayflower were squeezed below decks in crowded, cold and damp conditions, suffering crippling bouts of seasickness, and surviving on meager rations of hardtack biscuits, dried meat and beer. Incredibly, all but one of the Mayflower’s passengers survived the grueling, 66-day ordeal, and the Pilgrims even welcomed the arrival of a newborn baby halfway through the journey, a boy aptly named Oceanus.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
