Located approximately 40 miles (64 km) south of Boston, Plymouth holds a place of great prominence in American history, folklore, and culture, and is known as "America's Hometown."
Plymouth was the site of the colony founded in 1620 by the Pilgrims, passengers of the famous ship the Mayflower.
Mayflower's voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 66 days, from their departure on September 6, until Cape Cod was sighted on 9 November 1620.
It is traditionally said that the Pilgrims first set foot in America at the site of Plymouth Rock.
The culmination of the voyage in the signing of the Mayflower Compact was an event which established a rudimentary form of democracy, with each member contributing to the welfare of the community.
The Boat and the Rock are very close to each other at the sea side in Plymouth.
