The Imagine You Were There... series celebrates events that changed
the world and the people who made them happen. November 2019 sees the
400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower, with its cargo of
pilgrim families, on the shores of Massachusetts. Sailing on the
Mayflower celebrates this milestone by helping readers imagine what it
was like to actually be there. Fully illustrated, the book charts the
voyage of the pilgrims from England via Holland, and chronicles their
arrival in American and the founding of the Plymouth Colony. The book
includes first-hand accounts of the voyage and early settler life, with
the difficulties it brought. It also looks at the experiences of
settlers in other parts of the world, and at some of the same issues
that are relevant to modern-day immigrants.
