Pilgrims Arrive 400 Years Ago-- Part 4: Looking for a Place to Live

DECEMBER 8, 1620

At dawn, the expedition looking for Thievish Harbor fought off an attack by Indians.   Later that day, they were hit by a gale with snow alternating with rain.  They spent the night on what became known as Clark's Island.  

DECEMBER 9

They spent the day exploring the island and rested the next day, the Sabbath.

DECEMBER 11

Explored the harbor behind the island and found it could accommodate a ship the size of the Mayflower.

DECEMBER 12

Back on the Mayflower.  Told the others they had found a site for the colony.

DECEMBER 16

The Mayflower entered Plymouth Harbor, but it wasn't until December 20, that they decided where to build their colony.

DECEMBER 21

Pilgrims land at the site that would become their colony.

So, I Guess December 21 Would Be The Real Date of the Pilgrims Arrival At Their Colony.  --Cooter
