11 nov 1620 año - Pilgrims Land

Descripción:

The Mayflower set sail from England in September of 1620. Filled with some 100 passengers, many of whom were seeking religious freedom, it landed on November 11, 1620. They had originally aimed to land in Virginia, probably near Jamestown, but due to storms and rough seas they ended up in Plymouth Harbor. More than half of the Pilgrims died over the first winter, mostly due to malnutrition and inadequate housing. While on the ship, many settlers signed the Mayflower Compact, which was the foundation of the new colony’s government.
