Mayflower II Goes through the Cape Cod Canal

Mayflower II and Tugboat Travel through the Cape Cod Canal

Mom and I go to the Cape Cod Canal and Sandwich Marina almost every day. Today, we had lots of company. The Mystic Seaport Museum was tweeting that the Mayflower II would enter the canal at 10 am. While it's only a half-size replica of the original Mayflower, it is still a treat to see a wooden boat of that size travel through the canal. She didn't have her sail up and a tug boat was pulling her - at quite a good clip. The tug boat captain was sweet enough to tweet updates of their location while he was in the canal. Everyone waiting with cameras, smart phones and iPads was very appreciative of that. #MayflowerII
