(Separating the Pilgrims From the Puritans ). ''The New York Times''. 24 October 1999〕〔Folsom, George. et al. ''Historical Magazine: and Notes and Queries Concerning the Antiquities, History, and Biography of America''. (C. B. Richardson, 1867) (page 277 )〕 There were 102 passengers, and the crew is estimated to have been about 30, but the exact number is unknown.〔Caleb H. Johnson, ''The Mayflower and Her Passengers'' (Indiana: Xlibris Corp., 2006), p. 33〕 This voyage has become an iconic story in some of the earliest annals of American history, with its story of death and of survival in the harsh New England winter environment. The culmination of the voyage in the signing of the Mayflower Compact was an event which established a rudimentary form of democracy, with each member contributing to the welfare of the community.〔Bertrand Brown, 'To Celebrate the 300th Anniversary of America's Origin', ''The Journal of Education", Vol. 92, No. 6 (Trustees of Boston University, August 1920), p. 151〕 == ''Mayflower'' structure and layout == The Pilgrim ship ''Mayflower'' was a typical English merchant ship of the early 17th century – square-rigged and beak-bowed, with high, castle-like structures fore and aft that served to protect the ship's crew and the main deck from the elements. But having on her stern such structures as the 30-foot high, square aft-castle made the ''Mayflower'' extremely difficult to sail against the wind. This awkward superstructure configuration, making the ''Mayflower'' unable to sail well against the North Atlantic's prevailing Westerlies, especially in the Fall and Winter of 1620, was the direct cause of the ship's voyage from England to America taking over two months. The ''Mayflower''s return trip to London in April–May 1621, with the same strong winds following this time, took less than half that time.〔Nathaniel Philbrick, ''Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War'' (Penguin Books 2006), p. 24〕〔Nick Bunker, ''Making Haste from Babylon: The ''Mayflower'' Pilgrims and their New World a History'' (New York: Knopf 2010), p. 37〕 By 1620, the ''Mayflower'' was an aging ship, nearing the end of the usual working life of an English merchant ship in that era, some 15 years. No dimensions of her hull can be stated exactly, since this was many years before such measurements were standardized. Probably ''Mayflower'' measured about 100 feet in length from the forward end at the beak of her prow to the tip of her stern superstructure aft. She was about 25 feet at her widest point, with about 12 feet of keel below the waterline. William Bradford estimated that ''Mayflower'' had a cargo volume of 180 tons, but he was not a mariner. What is known on the basis of records from that time that have survived is that she could certainly accommodate 180 casks of wine in her cargo hold. The casks were great barrels that each held hundreds of gallons of claret wine.〔 This was a ship that traditionally was heavily armed while on trading routes around Europe, due to the possibility of encountering pirates and privateers of all types. And with its armament, the ship and crew could easily be conscripted by the English monarch at any time in case of conflict with other nations.〔Caleb H. Johnson, The Mayflower and Her Passengers (Indiana: Xlibris Corp., 2006), p. 30〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mayflower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
