Dutch West India Company was created on 1621-06-03.
Native American rarely ate turkeys. In fact there was no turkey in 1621.
The colonists at Plymouth had fish and shellfish, venison, ducks and wild turkeys. Vegetables included cabbage, beans, onion and squash. Their first wheat crop (in 1621) failed, so they did not have bread. "Indian corn" was ground into a porridge and cooked; some of it may have been made into flatbread. Early on, all cooking was done over open fires, as they did not have ovens.
There were about 150 people in all on the Mayflower. The passengers counted 102. They landed on what is now Cape Cod in the winter, so passengers and crew lived on the ship until spring. The Mayflower left the Pilgrims for a voyage home in April of 1621.
== == The first pilgrims began as a religious group. The Separatists which is what they called themselves, felt that the only way to practice their faith was to separate from the church of England. The passengers who arrived on the first four ships were called new comers. The ships included the Mayflower (1620) the Fortune (1621) the Anne and Little James (1623).
