The first settlers from Europe arrived in North America primarily by ship during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, following voyages sponsored by various European powers. Notable early arrivals included Christopher Columbus in 1492, who landed in the Caribbean, and later, the Pilgrims and Puritans who established colonies in the early 17th century. These settlers sought new opportunities, religious freedom, and trade, leading to the establishment of permanent settlements. Their journeys were often perilous, involving long sea voyages across the Atlantic Ocean.
