48 days into the voyage and the Mayflower is struck by disaster - a spilled over oil-lantern is accidentally ignited, setting fire to one of the three main masts. Uncontrolled, the fire quickly spreads to the other masts, burning through the Mayflower's complex array of sails and riggings. The fire also swiftly spreads across the main deck, igniting several barrels of gunpowder - the resulting explosions blast throughout the ship, killing many Pilgrims in the process. The remaining crew members try to put out the flames, but to no avail - it's already done too much damage. He was dead wrong.
