    Nor sail itself, etc. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone single out the actual vessel as noteworthy.

    “What’s that? Genocide, yes, yes. But, by God was she a fine sailin’ ship…”

      The only thing I can remember ever hearing about the Mayflower was that it delivered beer before it took the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World, so the whole ship reeked of stale beer the whole time.

      Must have been fun.

        I’ll take stale beer over bacteria-laden water!

        Edit: also, probably not the worst smell in that ship. I can’t imagine those people were well-perfumed even before they sailed for months

          They were probably used to the body odor and sewage smells though.
