Who followed in the explorers' footsteps?

Settlers did. In November 1620, for instance, a ship called the Mayflower sailed into what is now Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, USA. On board were 102 English settlers, or immigrants, who became known as the Pilgrim Fathers.

[The Mayflower's crew called the settlers 'puke-stockings' because they were so seasick during the crossing from England!]
