The Dorchester Company of Adventurers was a Joint Stock Company established in 1623 in England to enable the English colonisation of North America[1] It was founded at the instigation of the puritan Anglican churchman, John White. Although the company only existed for three years it played a significant role in the later development of the Massachusetts Bay Company. The company was a commercial organisation which aimed to provide a safe haven on the North American Coast where supplies could be stored. This was established at Cape Ann.[2]

The company had 119 members, six of whom were to go and join the Massachusetts Bay Company.[3]
