They hired the Speedwell in Holland and hired the Mayflower at London, although it was berthed at Southampton. The two ships set sail from Southampton, around August 5, 1620. It soon became evident that the Speedwell was leaking and not seaworthy, so they turned back and put in at Plymouth (in Devon, England). There, some Pilgrims transferred themselves and their goods to the Mayflower and some stayed behind. The Mayflower set sail from the port at Plymouth on September 6, 1620 and arrived at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on November 11th; a voyage of 65 days.
Pilgrims (or Pilgrim Fathers) were a group of English Protestants who fled England for Holland in the late 16th century in order to achieve greater religious freedom. In 1617 the Pilgrims began looking to leave Holland and settle in the New World. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and established the second successful English settlement in the New World (Jamestown in Virginia being the first, having been established in 1607).
Puritans were people who wanted to reform the Anglican Church;Pilgrims or Separatists were people who wanted to leave the Anglican Church and start their own church in a new country.
