Mayflower Cats?
The Pilgrims leave Plymouth Harbor in England on a ship called the
Mayflower. They seek freedom in America to worship the way they want. The voyage is difficult, but only one of the 102 passengers dies. Mayflower Cats Cats were welcome aboard sailing ships in the 16th century because they helped control the rodent population and protected finite food supplies. They were so well known as sea-going voyagers that National Geographic once reported that "cats, like people, found freedom from persecution in America. It is believed that they first came over on the Mayflower, although it may have been earlier - with the Spaniards in the 16th century. In any event, once here, they thrived." Gone For a Day Barrys |
