The journey was very rough. It took 9 weeks for the pilgrims to get to the New World. They were supposed to land near the Hudson, but due to storms, they veered off coast to Plymouth.
The Pilgrims landed near what is now called Cape Cod rather than Virginia as planned because harsh storms rattled The Mayflower off course and back in the 1600's there weren't many maps to tell you your location.

The Puritans were English Protestants who were unhappy with the Church of England. They believed it had strayed too far from the Bible and was too close to the Catholic church in its rich decoration and its belief that a person could have a relationship with God only through a church and a priest, not directly. They believed in plain and simple houses, clothing and churches, not the rich decorations of the time. They were persecuted by the Church and by King James and so left England for America in order to worship as they believed. The first Pilgrims in America went to Virginia in 1618, but most went to New England. The Pilgrims founded the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620. Other Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony near present-day Boston in 1829 and the Connecticut Colony in 1636.
In 1620 a group of 60 Pilgrims from the same English village hired the ship Mayflower to take them to Virginia. They were suppose to settle near Jamestown, but a storm blew them off course and they landed off the coast of Massachusetts. There they found an abandoned Native American village and decided to stay. They lived on the ship until they could get established.
What was the some of the reasons early humans started to settle down? Why did they choose to settle near water?
