Dorchester Company of Adventurers, joint stock company which attempted to establish a permanent fishing and farming colony on Cape Ann (1623). The organizers, who included John White, were identified with the Puritan party, but had no intention of establishing a Puritan refuge. When their colony failed, the settlers came under the temporary rules of John Endecott, but were reorganized as the New England Company for a Plantation in Massachusetts Bay, which became the
Massachusetts Bay Company.
