Some unexpected problems occurred while planning the Mayflower voyage. One of the problems that they had while planning out the voyage was the cost. It was estimated to have cost about fifteen-hundred pounds sterling . Another problem was one of the ships was taking on a lot of water. This was because the masts were too large and were creating a lot of torque, causing strain on the ship. Some of the first voyagers got off the ship when they turned around. It was a very hard voyage, spending nine weeks at sea, but finally they made it to the New World.
