The following links show the route of pilgrims who made the transatlantic journey from England to America. Passageweather.com shows the weather patterns, currents and temperatures, illustrating the hardships the earliest anglo settlers experienced on the journey from England to the New World. An interactive map shows different parts of the atlantic and the current conditions. The hardships of the individuals onboard were vast. Lack of food, water and the presence of rats and scurvy made the trip trying at best. Wave height, direction, temperature and pressure would all have major impact on the speed a sailboat can reach. All of these variables are visibly represented in the interactive map.
