Thankful for . . . The Mayflower Survived Its Long Journey
You've studied the Mayflower enough by now to know that there were all kinds of people on the ship, the ship was crowded, the weather conditions weren't the greatest, the passengers didn't all get along, and people got sick! Doesn't sound like a very fun cruise to me! Have you ever thought what it would have been like if the Mayflower hadn't survived the journey? I wonder if the Pilgrims that were still in Europe would have tried coming to the New World again. Would we ever have had Thanksgiving? Oh, I don't like that thought! Thanksgiving is such a fabulous holiday! Well, thankfully, the people on the Mayflower arrived safely in the New World.

Many ships have not survived some of the treacherous waters in the Atlantic Ocean. You will have the opportunity to search the Atlantic Ocean in Google Earth and look for some of those shipwrecks. When you find one, click on the placemark for that ship and read more about what happened.
