the mayflower first anchored in the harbor of provincetown, massachusetts on november 11, 1620. the ship was headed for the mouth of the hudson river near manhattan, which was part of the colony of virginia at the time, but it did not go beyond cape cod. the pilgrim settlers realized that they did not have a patent to settle in the region, so they signed the mayflower compact prior to disembarking. they explored various parts of cape cod and eventually sought a suitable location for a permanent settlement to the westward in cape cod bay. they discovered the sheltered waters of plymouth harbor on december 17, and the protected bay led to a site for the new settlement after three days of surveying.
