| The next day we stopped at Salem Maritime National Historic Site just north of Boston. Salem was a teaming sea port until Boston was founded and proved to be a better harbor. |

| This is Derby Wharf built in 1762. This, and 2 smaller ones are all that remain of the more than 50 wharves that once lined Salem Harbor. They were covered with dozens of warehouses. Some of the wharves were built by floating timber rafts into position, then sinking them with stones. Others such as Derby Wharf, were constructed of stone exterior walls filled with earth. Derby Wharf is almost a mile long, quite a construction feat for 1762. |
| In central Vermont we came across a beautiful waterfall. |
|
| We were just a little early for most of the fall colors, but the scenery and weather was still beautiful. |
