Mayflower officers and crew
According to author Charles Edward Banks, the Mayflower had 14 officers consisting of the master, four mates, four quartermasters, surgeon, carpenter, cooper, cook, boatswain, and gunner, plus about 36 men before the mast for a total of about 50; more recent authors estimate a crew of about 30. The entire crew stayed with the Mayflower in Plymouth through the winter of 1620-21, and about half of them died. The surviving crew returned to London on the Mayflower on April 5, 1621

Animals on board
Two dogs are known to have participated in settling Plymouth. In Mourt's Relation, Edward Winslow writes that a female English Mastiff and a small English Springer-Spaniel came ashore on the first explorations of Provincetown. The ship was probably also carrying small domestic animals such as goats, pigs, and chickens. Larger domestic animals came later, such as cows and sheep
