1623 Passengers on Ships Anne & Little James
Third Group of Arrivals at Struggling Plymouth Colony
Jan 17, 2009
The Little John was on its maiden voyage, having been specially built for the use of the Plymouth Colony pilgrims.
It and the Anne arrived at Plymouth a week apart during the summer of 1623 to find a tiny settlement decimated by illness. Its survivors had struggled to endure many hardships, clinging to the beliefs which had led them to America in search of freedom and self-determination.
Tensions eased. Friends, family members and other new settlers were welcomed. Much needed provisions were unloaded.
