If you've always dreamed of discovering a historic page in the history of the United States, consider a yacht charter in the east of the country. Much of the country's history is reflected in the numerous relics adorning the eastern United States. After all, it was in Plymouth, Massachusetts, that the Pilgrim Fathers disembarked from the Mayflower in 1620.
A page of history
The eastern part of the United States is made up of a dozen or so states, including Maine, New York, Maryland, Vermont and Massachusetts, the state where it all began. The Pilgrim Hall Museum is there to bear witness to this. This museum, built in 1824 in Plymouth, tells the whole story of these religious dissidents who built the United States, their journey and the outcome of the voyage.
in Annapolis, beneath its beautiful Georgian-style houses, crucial events in the development of the United States took place, such as General Washington's resignation from the Continental Armye continentale en 1783, dans l'ancienne Chambre du Sénat, et la signature du Traité de Paris confirmant l'indépendance en 1784 dans la maison d'État. It is also in the east, in the city of Washington DC, that you can visit the White House, the Capitol and other important sites of American democracy.
