HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1620


On September 16, 1620, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth,
England
, bound for the Americas with 102 passengers. The
ship was headed for
Virginia, where the colonists—half
religious dissenters and half entrepreneurs—had been
authorized to settle by the British crown.

However, stormy weather and navigational errors forced the
Mayflower off course, and on November 21 the “Pilgrims”
reached Massachusetts, where they founded the first
permanent European settlement
in New England in late
December.
