About This Book

The author assembles contemporary letters, agreements, and voyage records to reconstruct how investors and a migrating congregation negotiated and secured a transatlantic vessel, debating whether to buy or hire, arranging pilots and consort craft, and coping with delays and wavering support. The book follows those negotiations through contractual arrangements and ship selection, then shifts to the sea voyage itself, describing cramped, leaky conditions, daily labor of caulking and refitting, and the communal decisions and hardships revealed in primary-source logs and correspondence.
