That could be possible. But most people believe (and maybe it is) that the Pilgrims were headed for Virginia, but an awful storm was coming strong winds and all that. And let's face it, a storm at sea is never pleasant! The storm blew them off course and they landed in New England. There the met the Native American tribe which was called the Wampanoag tribe. They made a peace agreement, also. There were some fighting involved, but in the end, everyone becomes friends! And in the Wampanoag tribe, they met a "famous" native which is still well known today called Squanto. Squanto taught the Pilgrims lots of stuff, like how to plant crops, build houses, etc.. Surprisingly, (or not so) the Wampanoag and Pilgrims celebrated a holiday which we call Thanksgiving.
