Detailed explanation-1: -The Pilgrims intended to land in Northern Virginia and the Hudson River (today New York) was their intended destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -After more than two months (66 days) at sea, the Pilgrims finally arrived at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620. A few weeks later, they sailed up the coast to Plymouth and started to build their town where a group of Wampanoag People had lived before (a sickness had killed most of them).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Mayflower set sail from Southampton, England, for North America on August 15, 1620. The ship carried Pilgrims from England to Plymouth, in modern-day Massachusetts, where they established the first permanent European settlement in 1620.
Detailed explanation-4: -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).
