Comment on But is now better or worse?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe ship Mayflower sailed a lot and founded several cities in America.
That was definitely not positive news for the indigenous people.

I’d blame that on the settlers rather than the vessel.
PS. You do not want to see the bad news from 1620.

True, but the vessel didn’t found the cities.

Nor sail itself, etc. In fact, I've never heard anyone single out the actual vessel as noteworthy.
"What's that? Genocide, yes, yes. But, by God was she a fine sailin' ship..."

The only thing I can remember ever hearing about the Mayflower was that it delivered beer before it took the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World, so the whole ship reeked of stale beer the whole time.
Must have been fun.
