Cape Cod Canal, Telecam, US Army Corps of Engineers

Hi kids!

We are in Plymouth Massachusetts. That's where the Pilgrims landed and
where the first Thanksgiving was. The Pilgrims got thrown out of
England for being revolutionaries. They were met in Plymouth by an
Indian called Squanto. Squanto had been to England himself and spoke
English well. Talk about luck!

Today we are going through the Cape Cod Canal. It's a canal cut right
through the land so ships can go through. The link above is a webcam.
It shows the boats in the canal. If you watch it at noon you might see
us go through!

Well, kids, make sure your teacher tells you about Pilgrims today. And
shout "Squanto" when she gets to the Indian part.
