Uitzenddatum: Feb 12, 2012

This journey begins at the Plimoth Plantation, a re-creation of the first European settlement, before moving up the coast to modern town of Plymouth, where the Pilgrim Fathers' ship, the Mayflower, has been reconstructed. On the way north towards the capital of Massachusetts, Boston, pass the town of Quincy, home to one of the founding fathers of the American Revolution and also its second president - John Adams. Much of the early history of America's independence happened in Boston. Take a good look at one of the country's finest historic cities, including its modern side. Following the coast north is Salem, and a town famous for its association with witch hunts in the 17th century. This journey ends in the seaside town and harbour of Gloucester, a favourite haunt for visitors during the summer
