It does.

Contrary to folklore, the Pilgrims did not first set foot on land at
Plymouth.
They first landed at the tip of Cape Cod at what was to become Provincetown.
A group of men were sent out in the jonboat to find a safe harbor further
into the bay.
They rowed the 23 or so miles across Cape Cod Bay, found (to be) Plymouth
Harbor, and rowed back to report their findings. Tough dudes and dudettes
in those days. The "rock" is the symbolic stepping stone in Plymouth.
