The Mayflower ended up in Plymouth, Massachusetts, instead of Virginia due to navigational errors and harsh weather conditions. Initially aiming for the Virginia Colony, the ship was blown off course during its journey across the Atlantic. After spending weeks at sea and facing deteriorating conditions, the Pilgrims decided to settle in Plymouth, where they found a suitable harbor and resources for establishing a new settlement. This unplanned location ultimately became the site of their first successful colony in the New World.
