The settlers, primarily the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, landed on the coast of New England in November 1620 after a challenging sea voyage from England. They initially intended to reach the Virginia Colony but were blown off course and instead arrived at Cape Cod. After exploring the area, they chose to settle in Plymouth, where they established one of the first permanent European colonies in America. Their landing marked the beginning of significant European settlement in New England.
