	Mayflower Ship
		Mayflower as being "broad of beam, short in the waist, low between decks and not tight in her upper works," She was, in other words, what seamen know as a "wet" ship, and being heavily loaded as "low in the water."
		The ship lay dormant for about two years, at which point it was appraised for probate, and its value was determined to be £128-08-04, an extremely low value (had it been in sailing condition, £700 could be expected).
		Ships in that condition were more valuable as wood (which was in shortage in England at the time), so the Mayflower was most likely broken apart and sold as scrap.
