Correction for the length of The Voyage of the Mayflower

Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How long is 1,580,000 minutes?
It's about seventeen times as long as The Voyage of the Mayflower
The length of The Voyage of the Mayflower is about 95,000 minutes.
(1620)
Having left Southampton, England on September 16th (new style), 1620, the Mayflower dropped anchor near Cape Cod, Massachusetts 95,000 minutes later on November 21st (new style), 1620. The voyagers had planned to travel in a convoy of two ships, but the smaller Speedwell was found to be leaking (evidently as a result of sabotage) and all passengers had to be moved to the Mayflower instead.
