The Storm

The Blessing left London in July of 1635 and arrived in Massachusetts Bay that August, fifteen years after The Mayflower. Onboard were Richard More and Christian Hunter, who would marry one year later, both were just 20 years old. They were directly in the path of one of the biggest hurricanes about to hit New England and experienced it together while first meeting and falling in love.

The New World

Shortly before the Mayflower reached Cape Cod in November of 1620, Richard More turned 6 years old. In early December, his older brother by one year Jasper More aged 7 succumbed to illness and died onboard. He was buried in the dunes nearby, one of the many early, unmarked graves.
