The Winthrop Fleet consisted of eleven ships sailing from Yarmouth, Isle of Wright to Salem. Some sailed April 8, arriving June 13, 1630 and the following days, the others to sail in May, arriving in July. The total count of passengers is believed to be about seven hundred because Winthrop wrote to his wife just before they set sail that there were seven hundred passengers. Financing was by the Mass. Bay Company.

Sailed April 8 1630:
- the Arbella flagship with Capt Peter Milburne,
- the Ambrose,
- the Hopewell,
- the Talbot

Sailed May 1630:
- the Charles,
- the Mayflower,
- the Jewel,
- the Success,
- the Trial,
- the Whale,
- the William and Francis.

Six months after their arrival, Thomas Dudley [future governor of Massachusetts] wrote to Bridget Fiennes, Countess of Lincoln and mother of Lady Arbella and Charles Fiennes, that over two hundred passengers had died between their landing April 30 and the following December, 1630. That letter traveled via the Lyon April 1, 1631 and reached England four week later.
