Merchants, trades people and the poor. Often nuns and priests, anyone who wanted to escape religious changes they did not like, many were church related people - they wanted to start a new life that met with their beliefs.

Those would be pilgrims coming from New Zealand and Slaves.
Pilgrims would typically sleep on the floor on their journey on the boat. Some would sleep in make-shift beds that they created.
The Pilgrims simply hunted small game such as squirrels, rabbits, and sometimes they would hunt deer.
During the Middle Ages, religion was very important, and many chose to prove their faith by going on pilgrimages to holy sites. Pilgrims would have included anyone, from various walks of life, who had the funds to pay for a trek to Becket's shrine.
The type of people who have been pilgrims and the reasons for going are people who would have been from any background rich or poor, bad or good just generally anybody. They would of gone because of any reason spiritual healing, have a good time, to be near a presence of a saint. Because in those days life was tough, people thought that going on pilgrimages would give them a place in heaven and as I said being tough in those days was important that they had a place. People would go there to keep there faith strong or meet new people. Sometimes they thought it would help a sick friend or relative.
The pilgrims were Puritans, which is a denomination of Protestant Christianity.
people go on pilgrims so that their sins would be forgiven. if you want to read a poem about pilgrims then I suggest The Canterbury Tales!

'Pilgrim(s)' are a person or a group of people who are making a journey somewhere for religious purposes. The 'pilgrimage' refers to the journey they make. For Muslims the 'pilgrimage' would be the Hajj and the 'pilgrims' would be those Muslims making the Hajj that year. For Christians the 'pilgrimage' may be a trip to the Holy Land (Jerusalem) and the 'pilgrims' are the people making the visit.

What reasons would you have for not going?
The first animals the Pilgrims would have seen in the Americas were birds. Seeing birds let the people on the ship know that they were getting near land.
