5 THE ADVENTURES OF PLYMOUTH ROCK The famous Plymouth Rock is located on the waterfront in Plymouth, near where Mayflower II is normally anchored. However, this illustrious boulder has had many adventures. In 1774, Plymouth was animated by the spirit of the impending Revolution and it was resolved, as James Thacher relates, to consecrate the rock on the altar of liberty; to associate the symbol of the Forefathers and the community with the new cause and legitimize what was a contentious issue in the town. The Rock was lifted from its bed and in attempting to mount it on the carriage it split asunder, without any violence. As no one had observed a flaw, the circumstance occasioned some surprise. It is not strange that some of the patriots of the day should be disposed to indulge a little superstition, when in favor of their good cause. The separation of the rock was construed to be ominous of a division of the British Empire. The upper piece of the Rock was moved by teams of oxen up to the Town Square near the Town House, where a Liberty Pole had been set up. However, after that crisis was over, the Rock was neglected to some extent, as was witnessed by Edward Kendall in 1807: The place assigned to this venerable stone, is no other than the end of a wall, in which, along with vulgar stones, it props up an embankment near an elm tree in the Town Square. The practice of taking pieces as souvenirs had also begun, so on July 4, 1834 (after James Thacher s 1832 History of the Town of Plymouth had heightened interest in the town s history), the Rock was moved again. HONORING THE PILGRIMS In 1819, in anticipation of the approaching bicentennial of the arrival at Plymouth, a number of Plymoutheans decided to form a historical society in honor of the Pilgrims. The Pilgrim Society was incorporated the following year for the purpose of procuring in the town of Plymouth a suitable lot or piece of ground for the erection of a monument to perpetuate the memory of the virtues, the enterprise and unparalleled sufferings of their ancestors who first settled in that ancient town, and for the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of the meetings of said association. The construction of the building was soon begun, and in 1824, Pilgrim Hall was opened for both meetings and as a repository for Pilgrim relics. It became the logical place to move the Rock, and a decorative iron fence was erected to receive it. It was on the 1834 journey that Plymouth Rock acquired its famous crack, by falling off its conveyance in front of the Court House. Even in its new cage, the Rock was chipped at until the town put a stop to the practice, as noted by Thoreau in his diary in A HOME FOR THE ROCK The laying of the cornerstone of a new Plymouth Rock canopy and Forefathers Monument occurred on August 2, Both were designed by Hammet Billings of Boston. The canopy was finished in 1867, and contained not only the lower portion of the Rock, but a number of bones found on Cole s Hill discovered when a sewer was being laid in These were identified by Dr. Oliver Wendall Holmes as the remains of white persons, and presumed to be those Pilgrims who had died the first winter. According to a tradition preserved by Elder Faunce, they had originally been buried near the first Common House on Leyden Street. In order to get the lower portion of the Rock to fit in its new home, it was necessary to cut off several pieces, which were apparently used as souvenirs and to supply the demand for a piece of the rock elsewhere. The upper half was moved to a fenced enclosure in front of Pilgrim Hall on July 4, On September 27, 1880, the upper half was reunited to its other part and put under the canopy. The 1620 (previously painted on) was carved into it. The Rock was moved once again when the Billings canopy was demolished before the Tercentenary celebration. Both sections of the Rock were lifted from their bed and removed to make way for construction of a new memorial structure. The strain of the boulder caused it to break apart once again, and further pieces had to be removed in order to reunite the sections before it was lowered to the new water level position it remains at today. The present canopy, designed by McKim, Mead and White and built by Roy B. Beattie of Fall River, was donated by the National Society of Colonial Dames in Visitor Information USA Destination Plymouth Dining, Shopping & Activities Guide 9

6 SAVING A NATIONAL TREASURE: MAYFLOWER II GETS A MAKEOVER Although the original Mayflower no longer exists, Plimoth Plantation s full-scale reproduction, Mayflower II, has long been a treasured and familiar presence on the Plymouth waterfront. This historic ship a gift from the people of England to the United States commemorates the friendship between our countries, strengthened during World War II. The ship set sail from Plymouth, England on April 20, 1957 with a crew of thirty-three men and arrived on the shores of Plymouth, Massachusetts on June 13 to a crowd of 25,000 spectators. More than sixty years later, the ship has lost none of her luster as an international destination. Since that time, an estimated 25 million people have stepped aboard Mayflower II and imagined the Pilgrims experience on that historic crossing in Today s visitors to the ship sense the perils of the 1620 voyage and methods of maritime travel of the time, observe the tools of 17th century navigation, and are reminded of their own ancestors who may have made similar voyages to the United States. Mayflower II, one of Plimoth Plantation s three main outdoor living history sites, serves as a floating classroom and cultural anchor in the Town of Plymouth. Keeping a wooden ship that is continually exposed to the elements seaworthy poses numerous preservation challenges, however. Today, the ship is undergoing a major refit at Mystic Seaport s Henry B. DuPont Preservation Shipyard where Plimoth Plantation s maritime staff are working alongside the museum s expert shipwrights to restore the ship using a combination of traditional and modern tools and techniques in keeping with the ship s original construction. In 2019, Mayflower II will return to Plymouth in her full glory, ready to greet visitors once again and in time for the 400th commemoration of the Pilgrims arrival on New England s shores in Please visit inspire.plimoth.org to learn more about you can get involved with this exciting project and plimoth.org/mayflowerii-blog/ for updates on the restoration. 10 Visitor Information USA Destination Plymouth Dining, Shopping & Activities Guide 1 1

9 OCEANS OF ACTIVITIES AWAIT YOU Visitors are drawn to Plymouth s significant and fascinating history. Colonial history began here when the Pilgrims arrived in However, history is just the beginning of what Plymouth has to offer. From our beautiful working harbor, to our fishing and lobster industries, to the rope making of the Plymouth Cordage Company, Plymouth has found success as a maritime community since the Mayflower reached her shores. We encourage you to board a vessel, stroll the shore, and partake in a variety of recreational seaside activities. FISHING. Boats depart Town Wharf almost every day, carrying both commercial and sport fishermen. If you d like to test your skill with a rod and reel, head over to the wharf and book a halfor full-day trip on one of Captain John Boats Deep Sea Fishing trips. You re guaranteed to come home with dinner for the evening, your very own catch of the day, or tales of the one that got away. WHALE WATCHING. Captain John Whale Watching trips depart daily during the season (weather permitting). You will enjoy an amazing and unique full day on the water. Humpback, minke, and other whale species return to our waters to frolic and feed each year. Cameras should be kept at the ready on the open ocean and at Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary as you wouldn t want to miss the incredible displays of behavior. Whale watchers observe open-mouth feeding, groups working together to feed, flukes jutting from the waves, and the awesome act of these behemoths breaching or jumping out of the water. Most Plymouth whale watch providers participate in Whale SENSE, a responsible whale watching initiative. PIRATES & KAYAKS. For even more excitement on the water, take the young kids on a search for pirate treasure and the older ones on a kayak adventure. On Plymouth Cruises aboard Lobster Tales, your children will dress as pirates, sing pirate songs and laugh at pirate jokes as they prepare for a water cannon battle with the scurvy thief upon whose ship their stolen treasure chest lies. At Billington Sea Kayak you can rent kayaks and paddleboards for daytime and sunset excursions at Billington Sea. HARBOR CRUISES. For a more relaxed sightseeing experience on the water, try one of our many harbor cruises. Captain John Boats Harbor & Sunset Cruises navigate the waterfront aboard the Pilgrim Belle, a Mississippi River-style paddle wheeler, which offers harbor tours, entertainment events and specialty trips. Plymouth Cruises aboard Lobster Tales offers wine cruises in collaboration with Pioppi s Liquor Store and ice cream sundae tours. Some of the cruises offer fantastic views of the two lighthouses that have protected sailors along our rocky coastline for ages. Contact operators for a current schedule. CONSERVATION. Beginning with Plymouth s earliest residents and visitors, the natural resources that the area has to offer have been treasured and protected. Today, Plymouth is home to many environmentally responsible residents and organizations. Whether you re interested in an exhilarating whale watch cruise or a relaxing sunset cruise, our partners offer something for everyone to enjoy. LOBSTERS. Closer to the shoreline other denizens of the deep await your hands-on visit. Plymouth makes up a large percentage of the revered New England fishing fleet. You can head out into the harbor and help pull up pots containing lobsters and crabs, as well as a wide variety of living things. You ll learn all about these hard-shelled creatures and how lobstermen apply their trade. Unlike charter fishing, there s no dinner to be had on these excursions, everything goes back into the water before the end of the trip.

Its granite pillars stand 6 feet tall and 18 feet wide, engraved with the names of those who lost their lives in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington.

NATIONAL MONUMENT TO THE FOREFATHERS BIRTH OF A NATION The birth of our nation began right here in Plymouth. We are proud to present one of the most impressive statues in the United States dedicated to the Pilgrims and their founding principles. The National Monument to the Forefathers, an 81-foot solid granite statue designed by Hammatt Billings and dedicated in 1889, strives to capture those principles in a symbolic sculpture. To truly understand the monument, you need to analyze and study the artist s choices. Why is Faith larger than Morality, Education, Law and Liberty? Why are some statues men and others women? What are they holding? Who are the little figures beside each major principle and what value do they represent? Would you have chosen different values? Why were certain Pilgrim historical events and quotes chosen? If time allows, compare your observations with those of professional tour guides. Take one of the tours led by Park Interpreters from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR, caretakers of the Forefather s Monument). Sign up with the Jenney Museum or the Plymouth Rock Foundation for a tour around the monument. Check out Kirk Cameron s documentary, Monumental, and see why so many people have been inspired to see the statue in person. Your visit to the National Monument of the Forefathers will instill a better understanding of how the basic principles of the United States of America were born right here in America s Hometown.

TIPPING GUIDELINES TAXI DRIVER Consider 15%, that is if he/she went out of his/her way to get you there directly, safely, and comfortably.

TOUR GUIDES AND CHARTER BUS DRIVERS It is customary to pay the bus driver $5 for a full day tour, and anywhere from $5 to $10 day for a weeklong trip.

VALET PARKING ATTENDANT A valet parking attendant retrieves your car whenever you want it it is appropriate to give him/her $1 to $5.

BARTENDER It is customary to give $1 to $2 for a small drink order, but if this person has gone out of his/her way to mix you that perfect drink, a bigger tip is not unreasonable.

22 TIPPING GUIDELINES TAXI DRIVER Consider 15%, that is if he/she went out of his/her way to get you there directly, safely, and comfortably. Watch to be sure that the tip hasn t been automatically added to your fare before paying. TOUR GUIDES AND CHARTER BUS DRIVERS It is customary to pay the bus driver $5 for a full day tour, and anywhere from $5 to $10 day for a weeklong trip. Typically, the tour guide, if you have one, gets double the rate paid to the bus driver. VALET PARKING ATTENDANT A valet parking attendant retrieves your car whenever you want it it is appropriate to give him/her $1 to $5. However, if your car is precious to you and you need it to be handled with care, or parked in a secure area, a bigger tip may be necessary. BARTENDER It is customary to give $1 to $2 for a small drink order, but if this person has gone out of his/her way to mix you that perfect drink, a bigger tip is not unreasonable. Provide larger tips when the order is for larger groups. WAITERS/WAITRESSES 15% is the norm, and 20% when the individual has given you extraordinary service. For larger groups, tips are sometimes added automatically to the bill. Always examine your check to be sure you don t pay twice. HOTEL MAID A good maid works hard, remaining unseen, while providing a clean room for you and your family. Typically, tips should range from $1 to $5 per night, depending on the size of the room, the number of people, and realistically, how messy the room is left. (Room service tips should not be included here, as the Room Service should be tipped separately upon their arrival.) FOOD SERVICE DELIVERY PERSON For delivery service, 15% would be construed as appropriate, depending of course on the size of the delivery, the distance, and their timing. Base your tip on the size of your order, the distance traveled and the weather conditions during the delivery. If you ordered a loaded, party-sized pizza delivered 5 miles hot and fresh during rush hour, you may consider giving a bit more than for a small pizza delivered from the pizza shop two doors down. TIPS AND GRATUITIES CAN ADD UP AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN BUDGETING FOR YOUR TRIP.
