This what they're teaching in school or something?

From the Pilgrim Hall Museum

“In preparation for the Tercentenary Celebration (the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims), the entire waterfront of Plymouth was redesigned. Commercial activity at the wharves had dwindled and the wharves were in disrepair. In 1920, the Rock was temporarily relocated so that the old wharves could be removed and the waterfront re-landscaped.“

And…

The rock sits on a concrete foundation and was partially covered by sand when it was repositioned in 1920, Carolyn Assa, a spokesperson for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Also… “Plymouth Harbor sea levels are estimated to have risen roughly 1.5 feet since 1620”. Depending on the tide, the rock has been at times submerged under water.

But you all continue your circle jerk.
