The Pilgrirn Fathers were the early English settlers of New England. Originally they were called the Old Comers, then the Forefathers and were not known as the Pilgrim Fathers until the 19th century. The first group of pilgrims set sail from England in 1620 on a ship called the Mayflower, they landed in December at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts in the USA, where they established Plymouth Colony along Cape Cod Bay.

Only half of their party survived the first winter. In the following summer a feast was held between the settlers and the local Indians in thanks for their survival;
it was the first Thanksgiving celebration.
