The first successful english colonies were founded by joint-stock companies. In 1606, two groups of merchants and adventurers asked James I for permission to form a join-stock company to found colonies in America. The Londom Company was given the right to settle the land from the Potomac south to what is now the Carolinas. The Plymouth Company was given permission to settle the region between present-day Maine and New York. Late in the summer of 1620, a small group of families set sail in two ships from the English port of Plymouth. Almost immediately, one of the ships-the Speedwell- began leaking so badly that the tiny expedition had to turn back. The group then crowded aboard the sturdier Mayflower and once again raised anchor. Nine weeks later, the pengers aestablished a colony on the inner shore of Cape Cod Bay.
