The religious group known as the Pilgrims sought religious freedom from the Church of England.They had sought and secured a charter from King James to have a colony in the New World possessions of Great Britain. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean, but due to storms, mis-navigated their direction. Their ship was the Mayflower, and instead of landing far to the south, they ended up on the coast near what is now the city of Boston, in 1620. They called their settlement Plymouth.
