[oc]A stark look at the cost of the first Thanksgiving.

1. Damn that’s insane. Didn’t realize the odds were that bad.

2. It’s interesting that a sizable portion of the survivors came from a small number of families that made it almost unscathed.

3. Do you have a readable version?

4. Think that’s bad, shoulda seen the eventual cost to the natives.

5. Do you have a quality version to read the names?

6. Source doc? I’d like to have a copy of this myself

7. You can view a roll-over version of the poster to see the names via [The Mayflower Society’s shop](https://themayflowersociety.org/shop/home/art-prints/poster-of-the-mayflower-passengers-and-survivors/). There were actually 102 passengers and only 51 survived. Only 23 of them have living descendants today. That being said, it is estimated that there are 35 million descendants worldwide from the Mayflower passengers that had children. I can speak on that I’ve confirmed officially 14 passengers that I’m directly descended from. It’s completely wild the circumstances!

8. Second row, 4th from the right is my ancestor. Samuel Fuller the younger. Rough childhood…

9. >The resilience behind Thanksgiving is undeniable

   What does this mean?

10. I don’t know what’s sadder. The single dad that came with his two kids and everyone perished. Or the little girl that was the only survivor 🙁
