This is a 'list of the 104 passengers onboard the ''Mayflower''' during its trans-Atlantic voyage of September 6 - November 9, 1620, among them the 50 Pilgrim settlers of Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts. The ''Mayflower'' launched with 102 passengers, as well as at least two dogs. One baby was born during the trip and named ''Oceanus'' Hopkins. Another, ''Peregrine'' (meaning "wanderer") White, was born on the ''Mayflower'' in America on November 20, before the settlement at Plymouth. About half of these emigrants died in the first winter. Many Americans can trace their ancestry back to one or more of these individuals.
