Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor by William Halsall (1882)

This is a list of passengers on the Mayflower at the settling of Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Mayflower carried 102 passengers as well as at least two dogs to the new colony. One baby was born during the trip and was named Oceanus Hopkins while another Peregrine White (meaning "wanderer") was born on the Mayflower in America but before they settled 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.

At least two dogs are known to have participated in the settling of Plymouth.

There may have been other "pets" on the Mayflower but none are mentioned. [2]
