Of the original settlers of the Plymouth Colony, approximately half, or around 50 of the 102 passengers who arrived on the Mayflower, died during the first winter of 1620-1621. The harsh conditions, including cold weather, food shortages, and diseases, took a significant toll on the settlers. By the spring of 1621, only about 50 colonists remained alive.
