Landing of the Mayflower – 1620
“Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven, who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element.”
William Bradford, in his History Of Plymouth Plantation. (This is the only primary source account in existence that describes events that occurred while the Mayflower was at sea.)
