John Winthrop's fleet refers to the group of ships that transported Puritan colonists from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Winthrop, who was the colony's first governor, led this migration as part of a larger movement seeking religious freedom and a new life in America. The fleet included several vessels, such as the Arbella, and carried around 1,000 settlers, marking a significant moment in the establishment of Puritan New England.
