Did the pilgrims or puritans sail to the new world in the 1600's?

Both the Pilgrims and the Puritans sailed to the New World in the 1600s, seeking religious freedom and new opportunities. The Pilgrims, a group of Separatists, arrived first in 1620 aboard the Mayflower, establishing Plymouth Colony. The Puritans followed in larger numbers during the 1630s, founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Both groups significantly shaped early colonial society in New England.
