Easter mundaye. Rydinge at the Cowes near the Ile of wight in the Arbella...
The Winthrop Fleet of 1630 (an early part of the Great Migration) was the largest fleet ever assembled to carry
Englishmen overseas to a new homeland. It was a well planned and financed expedition comprising eleven ships (seven of
which carried the 700 immigrants from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony). The group, led by Governor John
Winthrop, left port March 29 and landed Jun 12-Jul 6 in 1630. The fleet landed at Salem. Of the 700 on board, 200 died
during the voyage, and 100 returned to England soon after arrival. Some of the 400 remaining settlers stayed in Salem, but
many moved on to Boston, Watertown, or other settlements.
The ships were as follows:
Arbella – The flagship, designated 'Admiral' in the consortship; carried passengers; was the first ship to arrive, landed
first at Cape Ann on Jun 12, 1630.
Jewel – Designated a 'Captain'; carried passengers; arrived Jun 13 mid afternoon.
Ambrose – Designated 'Rear Admiral'; carried passengers; arrived between Jun 14-17.
Mayflower – A different ship than that of the Pilgrims; carried passengers; arrived Jul 1.
Whale – carried passengers; carried passengers; arrived Jul 1.
Talbot – Designated 'Vice Admiral'; carried passengers; arrived Jul 2 at Salem.
William and Francis – carried freight and livestock; arrived Jul 3 at Salem.
Hopewell – carried freight and livestock; arrived Jul 3 at Salem.
Charles – carried freight and livestock; arrived Jul 5 at Salem.
Trial – carried freight and livestock; arrived Jul 5 at Charlton.
Success – carried passengers; the last ship arrived at Salem harbor, Jul 6.
