The Pilgrims were looking for a place where they could worship as they pleased without being persecuted by other religious groups or government. The success of the Virginia colony provided a solution for the Pilgrims. The Plymouth Company, which was not having success like the Virginia Company, in attracting settlers to the New World, hit upon a scheme that would be successful to both Pilgrims and Company. The King was persuaded to let the Plymouth Company send the Pilgrims to America to provide a profitable colony to both the company and the Crown, and, in turn, the King would agree not to persecute the Pilgrims in their colony. When they arrived at Massachusetts Bay, they found a deserted Indian colony(Pawtuxet) that had been wiped out by illness years earlier. They considered it a sign from God that this was a good place to start the Plymouth Colony.
The Pilgrims, separatists in Holland, arrived in Cape-Cod November 1620 after a 65 day long voyage. They missed their destination, and decided to set up in Plymouth where they signed the Mayflower Contract.
When the Pilgrims first arrived at Cape Cod in November 1620, they were filled with a mix of hope and trepidation. They were relieved to have survived the long journey across the Atlantic, but they were also anxious about the harsh conditions and the unknown challenges that lay ahead. Their initial attitude was one of determination to establish a new life based on their religious beliefs, despite the uncertainty of their situation. This blend of optimism and apprehension shaped their early experiences in the New World.

The Pilgrims named the new land Cape Cod because of the abundance of codfish found in the waters off the coast. When they arrived in 1620, they encountered numerous fishing opportunities, which were vital for their survival. The name reflects the area's rich maritime resources and the Pilgrims' reliance on fishing for sustenance. Cape Cod has since become a significant part of American history and culture.
