The Mayflower passengers lacked proper medical care and therefore had problems with diseases. Also, the ship was blown off course. Instead of reaching the area called Virginia, they landed in the northern coast of the New World. Their landing location was in what is now called the state of Massachusetts. Plymouth Rock is reportedly their actual landing place, in Massachusetts.
