#4) MYTH: The Mayflower made a second voyage to America.

ANSWER: The Mayflower that brought the Pilgrims to America was never used again as a passenger ship. From its return in April 1621 until the death of its master Christopher Jones in March 1621/2, it resumed its former occupation as a trading vessel. After Christopher Jones' death, the ship sat in harbor slowly decaying while it was in probate. Christopher Jones gave his part of the ship to his widow, Josian, and in 1624 an inventory of the Mayflower was taken. It is described as being "in ruinis", and valued at £128-08-04 (a ship of its size should have been worth about £1000 pounds). Ships in this condition were always broken up and sold for scrap wood--an extremely valuable commodity in England at the time.
