When did the Pilgrims land in North America?

Question

When did the Pilgrims land on Plymoth Rock and where is the location in regards to today's map?

Answer 1

Time line for the landing of the Pilgrims (who, by the way, did not call themselves that... and were not given that name till much later) in 1620:

- first dropped anchor off Provincetown - Nov 11 "Old Style" [OS] (Nov 21 "New Style:)*
- first set foot on land - Nov 13 (Nov 23)
- landed at Plymouth Harbor - Dec 16 (Dec 26)

* The first set of dates is according to the Julian Calendar, which the English were still following in 1620. The date in parentheses is the "New Style" [NS] date, that is, the date according to the Gregorian Calendar (which we now follow), promulgated by Pope Gregory in 1582, but not adopted by the British until 1752. At the time of the Pilgrims' landing the Julian Calendar was 10 days behind the Julian, by 1752 it was 11 days behind.
