N1 - Funding Information: Thanks to Donna Curtin, Pilgrim Hall Museum, for allowing access to the timbers and for her warm hospitality. Thanks also to Gregory Lott, Victor Mastone and to the many Friends of the Museum who gave their time during the sampling. Thanks also to dendrochronology colleagues Ian Tyers, Cathy Tyers, Anne Crone, David Brown, Martin Bridge and Dan Miles, all who compared the two tree-groups identified in the study with their collections of tree-ring datasets. Thanks to Henrik Kiær for designing our graphical abstract. This analysis has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 677152).

N2 - In 1626, a vessel making its way to Virginia was forced off course and damaged in a storm, which drove the ship onto the eastern shore of the Cape Cod peninsula, Massachusetts. Onboard were two English merchants and some servants and farmers, many of whom were Irish. In 1863, a storm exposed the weathered remains of a vessel at Old Ship Harbor. At the time, it was hailed as the same ship that had brought the Virginia-bound passengers to Plymouth in 1626. Recent wiggle-match C14 dating and dendrochronology suggests that this is indeed a ship from the early seventeenth century.
