Their voyage aboard the Mayflower ship was trying.

After the Mayflower 1620 and the Mayflower 1620 crew reached Cape Cod, the pilgrims explored Cape Cod for several weeks. The pilgrims then sailed across Massachusetts Bay to Plymouth. There, the Mayflower 1620 crew and passengers finally found a safe harbor ans springs of fresh water.
What happened to the Mayflower passengers?
The passengers of the Mayflower ship started to build houses in Plymouth so they would have shelter for the winter that was rapidly approaching.
Who lived in Plymouth at the time the pilgrims arrived?
No one was living in Plymouth at that time. The people who used to live there was the Wampanoag. However, a sweep of sickness almost wiped out the entire population of the Wampanoag and those who survived the illness moved away.
The story of the pilgrims from the Mayflower 1620 ship
When Winter came, the pilgrims had little food to eat. They were hungry and cold throughout the winter. Many of the pilgrims got sick and died. Only about half of them survived. After the Winter has passed, visitors from the Wampanoag tribe visited the pilgrims and taught them to farm, grow crops and trade. This story of the Mayflower 1620 and the Mayflower 1620 crew form the origin of Thanksgiving as we know it today.

The Thanksgiving Story
August 5th, 2009
The Thanksgiving Story
Dagliesh and Sewell received praise for the clarity and immediacy of their picture book, a hit of the season in 1954. Today’s children, beginners and advanced readers, will value the story about one family’s first Thanksgiving in the Plymouth Colony, strikingly present in stylized, naive pictures like colored etchings.
Giles, Constance and Damaris Hopkins are aboard the Mayflower, overcrowded when the Speedwell turns back to England. On the journey, the children’s baby brother is born and named Oceanus; he will be one of the smallest in the company of settlers who endure the terrible first year in the New World and gather to celebrate the harvest the next November.
The story ends with the great feast to which the colonists invited the Indian chief Massasoit, Squanto and their people who had helped the strangers survive hunger, cold and sickness.
Product Description
The Thanksgiving Story “is the only really distinguished book we have on that holiday. Miss Dalgliesh has told the Pilgrim story simply from the point of view of the Hopkins family whose little Oceanus was born on the Mayflower; and Miss Sewell has made wonderful full-color pictures. A beautiful book.”–The Horn Book. Caldecott Honor Book.
