The first Puritans to come to America (the founders of Massachusetts Bay Colony) came on a fleet of 17 ships. The flagship was the Arbella/Arabella.
The Boston settlement was primarily founded by Puritans seeking to escape religious persecution in England. Led by figures such as John Winthrop, they established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, aiming to create a society based on their religious beliefs and values. This migration was part of a larger movement known as the Great Migration, where many Puritans left England for the New World during the early 17th century.
The religious group was called puritan because they were supposed to be "pure." They had very strict rules about religion and did not let their people change religions. In a way, they were somewhat the exact opposite of Quakers. Puritans were sometimes flogged if they did something wrong.

Between 1630 and 1640, approximately 20,000 Puritans emigrated from England to the New World, primarily settling in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This migration, often referred to as the Great Migration, was driven by religious persecution and the desire for a community where they could practice their faith freely. The influx significantly shaped the cultural and social landscape of early New England.
