Before transporting the Pilgrims, the Mayflower was involved in the wine trade with France and previously engaged in the fishing industry with Norway. It took the ship 66 days to reach Massachusetts. During the journey, a baby named Oceanus Hopkins was born.

On November 11, 1620, the Pilgrims first landed at Provincetown, MA, on Cape Cod's tip. Due to unsuitable farming conditions, they moved to Plymouth.
