Where did they go to the bathroom on The Mayflower?

We don't take a bath at sea. I only take a bath once a year. We don't have any rooms for bathing. The very forward-pointed part of the ship is called the "Beaks Head" and it serves a number of purposes, including a privy. On the side of the ship there are black shelves that stick out that are called channels. This is another place where you may do your business. source - scholastic teachers resources

Do black people take baths?

They certainly do, although like any ethnic group, some might prefer a shower rather than a bath. It is a myth that black people are not clean, and in fact, throughout history, minority groups have often been accused of this. But there is no evidence of it. The only period in American history when this might have had any truth was during slavery, when southern black people did not have regular access to bathing; but in modern times, black people are as likely to be clean as anyone else.
