"A Journey to the New World, the Diary of Remember Patience Whipple," is a two part dairy of a young girl who with her family and others traveled across seas in hopes of new lands for religious freedom. The first part of Remember's diary tells the story of sailing 2950 miles on the Mayflower in the Atlantic Ocean.
