Atlantic Crossings Were Dangerous In the Early Years
arrowing were the experiences of people who risked their lives and
property to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to America during the Sixteenth
to Eighteenth Centuries. The season for passage began in early May and ended
in late October with each westerly voyage from England requiring at least
seven to eight weeks with good tail winds, and often ten to twelve weeks if
the winds were not favorable. A typical journey for refugees fleeing
religious persecution in Europe or indentured servants contracting years of
labor for the cost of passage would often begin in Rotterdam or Amsterdam and
then proceed to England for supplies
