Harwich

Another optional detour takes us to Harwich, a quaint Cape town known for its numerous beautiful beaches. If you fancy a swim, this is one of the best places on the Cape for it!

3

Bank Street Beach

Next, our Harwich detour will take us to Bank Street Beach, the perfect place to relax or dip your toes into the Atlantic.

4

Eastham

As we continue our drive, we'll enter Eastham, a perfectly picturesque little Colonial town. We'll also hear about the embattled first encounter between the Pilgrims and the Nauset, the daring assistance offered by Squanto, and the very first Thanksgiving, where the Pilgrims and Nauset celebrated a truce.

5

First Encounter Beach

Continuing down the Cape, we'll arrive at First Encounter Beach, where that dramatic skirmish between Nauset and Pilgrims took place. The beach now bears a plaque commemorating the encounter and the eventual truce.

9

The Three Sisters Lighthouses

Continuing our drive, we'll come to three squat white lighthouses called the Three Sisters Lighthouses. What's peculiar about these lighthouses is that they're not on the coast at all! They're actually nestled among a thicket of trees pretty far inland. Hear about why that is, and how they came to be there. We'll also learn about how the Cape transformed from Nauset land to Colonial fishing towns, and then from fishing towns to a tourist hotspot.

10

Marconi Wireless Station

As we continue driving, we'll pass Marconi Station, the first radio station to ever send a wireless message across the Atlantic! The station also played a pivotal role in an infamous oceanic tragedy: the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Learn how a radio station hundreds of miles away saved lives on that fateful day!

11

Pilgrim Spring Trail

As we continue driving, we'll pass the Pilgrim Spring Trail, a short hike which leads to one of the first places the Pilgrims came after landing on the Cape. Here, the weary travelers found their first freshwater spring--an essential find in helping them survive. Afterward, we'll continue on toward Provincetown.

12

Pilgrim's First Landing Park

Finally, we'll end up where it all began: the site where the Mayflower first struck land.

Башня Скарго - ОТКРЫТА С ИЮНЯ 2021 ГОДА

Дополнительный крюк проведет нас мимо озера Скарго в форме рыбы. Согласно легенде о Наузете, это озеро было построено великим вождем, чтобы утешить свою дочь, которая не могла перестать плакать над тремя мертвыми рыбами. Мы также узнаем о отряде Носетов, которые первыми заметили Мэйфлауэр, и о том, какие у них были опасения по поводу его приближения.

50

Харвич

Другой необязательный крюк приведет нас в Харвич, причудливый Кейптаун, известный своими многочисленными прекрасными пляжами. Если вы хотите искупаться, это одно из лучших мест на мысе для этого!

51

Бэнк Стрит Бич

Затем наш объезд Харвича приведет нас к пляжу Бэнк-Стрит, идеальному месту, чтобы расслабиться или окунуться в Атлантический океан.

52

Истхэм

Продолжая наш путь, мы въедем в Истхэм, совершенно живописный маленький колониальный городок. Мы также узнаем о первой битве между Пилигримами и Наузетом, о смелой помощи, предложенной Скванто, и о самом первом Дне Благодарения, когда Пилигримы и Наусет отпраздновали перемирие.

53

Пляж первой встречи

Продолжая спускаться по мысу, мы прибудем на пляж первой встречи, где произошла драматическая стычка между Наусетом и Пилигримами. На пляже теперь есть мемориальная доска, посвященная встрече и возможному перемирию.

54

Центр посетителей Соленого пруда

Чуть дальше мы прибудем в информационный центр Salt Pond. Этот миниатюрный музей — прекрасная возможность узнать больше об истории Кейптауна, воспользоваться ванной или просто размять ноги.

55

Наусет Лайт

По мере того, как мы продолжаем движение вверх по мысу, мы заметим свет Наусет, причудливый маленький маяк, который изображен на каждой типичной фотографии Кейп-Код. Мы также узнаем о его важности и о том, как бурные воды мыса получили прозвище «океанское кладбище» до того, как был построен маяк.

56

Маяк Наусет

По мере того, как мы продолжаем движение вверх по мысу, мы заметим свет Наусет, причудливый маленький маяк, который изображен на каждой типичной фотографии Кейп-Код. Мы также узнаем о его важности и о том, как бурные воды мыса получили прозвище «океанское кладбище» до того, как был построен маяк.

57

Маяки Три сестры

Продолжая движение, мы подойдем к трем приземистым белым маякам, которые называются «Маяки Трех сестер». Особенность этих маяков в том, что они вовсе не на берегу! На самом деле они расположены среди зарослей деревьев довольно далеко в глубине суши. Узнайте, почему это так и как они там оказались. Мы также узнаем о том, как мыс превратился из земли Наусет в колониальные рыбацкие городки, а затем из рыбацких городков в туристическую точку.

58

Беспроводная станция Маркони

Продолжая движение, мы проедем станцию Маркони, первую радиостанцию, отправившую беспроводное сообщение через Атлантику! Станция также сыграла ключевую роль в печально известной океанской трагедии: гибели Титаника в 1912 году. Узнайте, как радиостанция за сотни миль спасла жизни в тот роковой день!

59

Весенняя тропа паломников

Продолжая движение, мы проедем Тропу источника паломников, короткую прогулку, которая приведет к одному из первых мест, куда паломники пришли после высадки на мысе. Здесь усталые путешественники нашли свой первый источник пресной воды, что помогло им выжить. После этого мы продолжим путь в сторону Провинстауна.

60

Парк первой высадки пилигримов

Наконец, мы окажемся там, где все началось: на том месте, где «Мэйфлауэр» впервые столкнулся с землей. Исследуйте парк и представьте, каково было поселенцам после десяти мучительных недель в море ступить на землю Наусет прямо здесь 11 ноября 1620 года. Наш тур официально заканчивается на этой исторической остановке.

74

Pilgrim's First Landing Park

As you can likely guess from its name, this is the location where the Mayflower first touched land after its journey across the Atlantic. Proud descendants of the pilgrims paved the memorial circle in 1917, and P-town residents have found other ways to mark the space since.

Nauset Light

As we continue our drive up the Cape, we'll spot the Nauset Light, the quaint little lighthouse that features in every quintessential Cape Cod photograph. We'll also learn about its importance, and how the Cape's rough waters earned the nickname of "ocean graveyard" before the lighthouse was built.

The Three Sisters Lighthouses

Continuing our drive, we'll come to three squat white lighthouses called the Three Sisters Lighthouses. What's peculiar about these lighthouses is that they're not on the coast at all! They're actually nestled among a thicket of trees pretty far inland. Hear about why that is, and how they came to be there. We'll also learn about how the Cape transformed from Nauset land to Colonial fishing towns, and then from fishing towns to a tourist hotspot.

Marconi Wireless Station

As we continue driving, we'll pass Marconi Station, the first radio station to ever send a wireless message across the Atlantic! The station also played a pivotal role in an infamous oceanic tragedy: the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Learn how a radio station hundreds of miles away saved lives on that fateful day!

Pilgrim Spring Trail

As we continue driving, we'll pass the Pilgrim Spring Trail, a short hike which leads to one of the first places the Pilgrims came after landing on the Cape. Here, the weary travelers found their first freshwater spring--an essential find in helping them survive. Afterward, we'll continue on toward Provincetown.

Pilgrim's First Landing Park

Finally, we'll end up where it all began: the site where the Mayflower first struck land. Explore the park and imagine what it must have been like for the settlers, after ten harrowing weeks at sea, to step onto Nauset soil right here on November 11th, 1620. Our tour officially ends at this historic stop.

Pilgrim Monument And Provincetown Museum

On that corner, you’ll notice the beautiful town hall with its striking clock tower right away. I’ll come to that in a minute. If you look farther to the right of the town hall, you’ll see the most striking tower in the entirety of Cape Cod: the Pilgrim Monument.

Pilgrim's First Landing Park

As you can likely guess from its name, this is the location where the Mayflower first touched land after its journey across the Atlantic. Proud descendants of the pilgrims paved the memorial circle in 1917, and P-town residents have found other ways to mark the space since.
