Thanksgiving - The Story of the Pilgrims - 19 - The Speedwell

The trading company arranged for ships to take the Pilgrims across the Atlantic ocean, but first the people had to return to England to get ready to go. The Pilgrims returned to England aboard a small ship called the Speedwell.

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.
