On 9 November 1620, the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod while in route to the Colony of Virginia. After two days of failed attempts to sail south against the strong winter seas, they returned to the safety of the Provincetown harbor and set anchor. It was here that the Mayflower Compact was drawn up and signed where they agreed to settle and build a self-governing community. Though the Pilgrims chose to settle across the bay in Plymouth.
