Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II

You'll never believe this (maybe you will) but whole buses of tourists show up to look at this rock, which probably isn't the rock that the pilgrims walked on to get onto land when they first set foot on solid ground at Plymouth. Atleast one book has been written on the importance of the symbolism of America having been founded (sort of, maybe) on a rock, even if this rock wasn't the one, completely ignoring the five weeks they spent looking around Cape Cod beforehand (they moved on because they couldn't find a steady water supply). Hint: The 1620 was not put on in 1620. The rock is on the ground sheltered by a sort of mini temple structure, with someone employed by Massachusetts State Parks to stand there all day and make sure people don't climb on the railings, and hopefully answer some questions.

The Mayflower II is a replica of the Mayflower, and was made in London and actually sailed across (although with a proper modern steering wheel, because it was illegal just to have the historically accurate 'whipstaff' thingy). It made you appreciate how cramped the quarters were on board for the original 120 pilgrims and crew (these days they only let 25 people on board at once).
The rest of Plymouth gave me the impression of a small town council overwhelmed by the attention, and not very organised with things like directional signage or consolidated bus and car parking, or ideas on how to channel people from the Rock enclosure up to the sort of pretty main street. But very good at parking meters.
