This picture is made majorly up of white men, with the exception of two women in the back. The women in the back most likely are in place to show that the Mayflower voyage was a family endeavor, rather than strictly men which was typically seen in the southern colonies. The white men show how it was them who participated in the governing of the colony. They are currently writing up a document that explains to James I that they didn't land where they first intended to and that they still mean to start a colony under his royalty and basically that they aren't up to any shenanigans. The Mayflower Compact also lays out a general outline for how they plan to govern the colony by giving all the settlers governing power to elect their officials. What pops out the most in this picture however is the clothing of all attending. We have a elderly man in more aristocratic clothing and a domed shaped hat that looks similar to something that clergymen would wear, implying how religious the first settlers were to the Americas, especially the first pilgrims. There are four men wearing the hats that we usually associate with pilgrims and thanksgiving. These men are the separatists from Holland that were the most religious members of the ship. The others, the man in the red bandanna, the men without a hat and the soldier looking fellow all show how the Mayflower wasn't exclusively a Pilgrim voyage. As a matter of fact the separatists only made up about half of the ship while the rest of them were your run of the mill settler of early America, debtors, men looking for a quick fortune, criminals, etc. (Cassie B.)
