The correct answer is - to expedite trade by finding and charting alternative methods of transport to Asia.
The Ottomans made a large empire, and they managed to gain control of the trade routes between Europe and Asia, demanding high taxes for both sides if they wanted to use their territory for trade.

Columbus was the main explorer of one of those missions. He went westwards with the ships he had at disposal, hoping that he will come to the eastern coast of Asia.

As for the other answers, the first winters were harsh and took a toll on the Pilgrim population.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony eventually became part of the Plymouth Colony (the opposite of how things were stated above).
The Pilgrims did not disband. The most famous of Massachusetts Bay Colony governors was the 3rd governor, John Winthrop. And Squanto was helpful to them.
