The ship was blown off course in a storm. They were suppose to be in VA not too far from Jamestown, but they ended up on Cape Cod. They took several days before they settled on the Plymouth site. Actually, at Plymouth they found an old Native American village that was empty because the people living there were dead from disease. They lived on the ship as they worked at making homes for themselves.
