The list included men of all ages, and of different ranks and circumstances. Thomas Weston, agent for the Merchants, now came from London to conclude the final arrangement ; and Carver and Cushman were again sent over — the former to South- ampton, the latter to London — to receive the necessary funds, and to make preparations for the voyage. Two small vessels had been purchased — one in Holland, called the " Speedwell," of only sixty tons burthen, partly to serve as a transport, and partly as ...a fishing boat, for service in America; the other, called the " Mayflower," of a hundred and eighty tons burthen, was to await their arrival in England, where it was probable they would be joined by a few of their fellow-separatists firom London. All things being at length arranged, those who had decided to go prepared for their long voyage.
