CHRISTINA SKINNER
It is an honor to take part in such an exciting project as the Mayflower 400.
My piece, entitled 102 and Crew, describes the vision I have of the perilous journey the Mayflower’s passengers took on faith that they could start anew.
In doing so, I gave life and a voice to the vessel which delivered them to their new home.
If the Mayflower hadn’t resisted the battering of the cold seas, all onboard would have perished. My poem, therefore, pays homage to the Mayflower and to the strength of the men who hand-crafted it, as well as to her precious crew.
