The Mayflower sailed to Plymouth primarily to establish a settlement where the Pilgrims could practice their religion freely, away from the persecution they faced in England. Initially aiming for the Virginia Colony, they were blown off course and landed in present-day Massachusetts. Plymouth offered a suitable location with Natural Resources and the potential for a sustainable community. The Pilgrims ultimately founded Plymouth Colony, which became one of the first successful English settlements in North America.

The Mayflower is a historic ship that is best known for transporting the Pilgrims from England to the New World in 1620. It originally set sail from Plymouth, England, and landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Today, a replica of the Mayflower, known as the Mayflower II, is docked in Plymouth, Massachusetts, as a museum and tourist attraction.
