Thanksgiving - The Story of the Pilgrims - 37 - Scouting for a home

The original plan called for the Speedwell to explore the shore for potential colony sites, and stay behind after the Mayflower left to begin fishing. Since the Speedwell had been left behind in England, the Pilgrims were forced to use row boats to land and explore the shore, this greatly limited their search range.

The Pilgrims came to America from England in 1620 in order to be free to practice their religion. These Coloring pages tell the story of how the Pilgrims sailed on a ship called the Mayflower, and landed at Plymouth Rock.
