when did the mayflower set sail for present-day america?
september 6, 1620
arriving from england, philippe de lannoy's family affiliated with the leiden walloon church, which held services in french, indicating they probably spoke french or picard. the timing and extent of his contact with the john robinson pilgrim congregation in leiden is unknown but philippe eventually joined the voyage robinson organized to the american continent. the leiden pilgrims bought the "speedwell" for the voyage. although his name is not on the passenger list, philippe is believed by "mayflower" scholar jeremy bangs to have joined his maternal uncle francis cooke (husband of his mother's sister, hester mahieu) and young cousin john cooke on the "speedwell" voyage from delfshaven to southampton to meet the "mayflower". it is possible that philippe went separately to england rather than aboard "speedwell". they gathered in england with other pilgrims and hireling colonizers to stage the onward voyage with the two ships. the "speedwell" proved unseaworthy and eleven of its passengers were able to join the "mayflower". it is unknown if the twenty (including robert cushman and phillipe de lannoy) who could not sail on the "mayflower" returned to leiden or remained in england. the "mayflower" proceeded solo with a combined company of 103, leaving plymouth on september 6, 1620, arriving cape cod harbor on november 11, 1620. the "fortune" eventually substituted for the "speedwell", sailing for plymouth colony in early july 1621, arriving on november 9, 1621, with philippe among its passengers.
