New England
The Pilgrims were a religious group that separated from the

Catholic Church.
With a voyage arranged by the Virginia Company, the
Pilgrims set sail for America aboard the Mayflower and landed in Plymouth, New
England in 1620.

The Pilgrims lived on the ship for over a month before they left. The trip took 66 days. They lived on the ship during the first winter.

One passenger, a 25 year old man named John Howland fell overboard.
The Mayflower crew spotted Cape Cod on November 9. The Pilgrims decided to head south, where it encountered rough
seas, and nearly shipwrecked. Rather than risk another attempt, they decided to stay and explore Cape Cod, anchoring
in Provincetown Harbor. They explored Cape Cod, trying to decide where they would build their plantation. On December
25, 1620, they decided upon Plymouth.

The Puritan Family
The Mayflower stayed with the Pilgrims in America the first winter, and departed home for England in
April, arriving back home in May 1621. Master Christopher Jones, the ship's captain, died the next year, in March 1622. Christopher Jones owned a
fourth of the ship, and when he died the ownership of his share passed to his widow, Josian.
Josian, with the other three owners, stopped using the ship, and by May 1624 it had fallen into ruins. It was appraised at that time to a value of just over £128, and because of its very poor condition it was almost certainly broken up and sold off as scrap.
The Pilgrims landed outside the limits of the Virginia Company’s
jurisdiction. For the sake of order, the Pilgrims signed an agreement to obey laws established for the good of
the colony - the Mayflower Compact. This compact help
establish the idea self-government and majority rule in America.

After a devastating first winter, a Native American, Squanto,
acted as an intermediary between the Pilgrims and local Native American tribes, who in
turn taught the pilgrims to plant, grow, and fish.
Squanto (1585?-1622), Native American of the Wampanoag tribe of what is now Massachusetts.
The Plymouth settlement celebrated the blessings of the first good harvest, holding a
three day feast. It was the first Thanksgiving.
Most of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower were men. Men were the head of the family. Wives were expected to obey them. Children were expected to obey their Mother and Father.
Some of the men brought their wives and children along. After the first winter, only 3 of the 17 wives were still alive to care for the 50 remaining men and children. Nearly half of all the pilgrims died that first winter.
