Detailed explanation-2: -The Virginia Company agreed, so the Pilgrims set sail on the Mayflower in September 1620 towards Virginia. The Pilgrims had a long and difficult journey across the Atlantic Ocean. A storm blew them off course so instead of landing in Virginia, they landed further north in Cape Cod (present day Massachusetts).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Mayflower landed on Plymouth Rock in late 1620. They’d actually landed on Cape Cod in November and tried to sail south to their originally intended destination-The Virginia Colony, a fairly monstrous 220 miles south-eventually ending up in Plymouth Rock (despite the name, more of a stone than a rock).

Detailed explanation-4: -Mayflower arrived in Plymouth Harbor on December 16, 1620 and the colonists began building their town.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some 100 people, many of them seeking religious freedom in the New World, set sail from England on the Mayflower in September 1620. That November, the ship landed on the shores of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts.
