They made a few errors in their navigation. They were navigating by the stars; it's not like they had GPS.

Who hired pilgrims to go to Plymouth?
No one "hired" the Pilgrims. I think you have the idea of starting a colony wrong. The Pilgrims got to Plymouth where there was NOTHING. No Walmart, Target sitting there waiting for them. They lived on the ship until they could chop down trees, build houses, put up fences, plant crops. They left England on their own to be able to practice their religion and there were 60 Pilgrims from the same village. They had tried the Netherlands first and that didn't work so they headed to the new world.
