In adhering to policies put forth by the federal, state, and local governments, the Official Maritime Salute to the 400th Anniversary, a large-scale Plymouth waterfront event has been moved to September 4th (rain date: September 5th).
The Official Maritime Salute pays tribute to the Pilgrims’ journey on board the Mayflower from Plymouth, England, to the site of Plymouth Colony in the new world. A regatta of wooden ships, yachts, workboats, official vessels, and pleasure craft, maritime fanfare and marine programming will be part of the day’s festivities. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we read and react to pandemic-related regulations and would invite you to check back frequently and follow our social media pages for updates.
The walk, originally scheduled for May 1, 2021 is in the process of being converted to a virtual tour format to be tentatively released September 4th. Final date and details to come.
The virtual Wampanoag Ancestors Walk will be led by the Wampanoag tribes of Massachusetts. Placards will be carried with the names of the original 69 villages of the Wampanoag Nation. Participants will pay homage to Massasoit and King Phillip and will highlight designated sites to bless the spots where Wampanoag ancestors walked. The walk will conclude with a native song and ceremony honoring Native souls. The Ancestors Quilt will also be on display in conjunction with this event. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we read and react to pandemic-related regulations and would invite you to check back frequently and follow our social media pages for updates.
