The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on September 6th (O.S.) and arrived at what is now Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on November 11th--a voyage of 65 days. [Source: "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford, Chapter IX.] They remained on the ship the following day, as it was a Sunday, for prayer and worship. They actually set foot on land on November 13th. They assembled a boat and made three expeditions over the next few weeks exploring the coastline. Having selected a site for their settlement, they took the Mayflower across to an abandoned Native American settlement called Patuxet, now Plymouth. The Mayflower dropped anchor there on December 17th. According to legend, that is where they would have set foot on Plymouth Rock.
