With 8 to 9 inches of sea level rise since 1620, and 8 feet of difference today between high and low tide at Plymouth Rock, it does look the same now as it did then. Rich folks are still living on their beach front properties all over the world. 2 Quote

Plymouth Rock has been moved several times over the past 200 years. Most notably in 1772 is was split into and the top half was moved into the town square.It was placed in it's current location in 1921. Quote

So the image we see in that meme of the rock is actually where it’s been since 1921? If so, the example of the rising sea level proclaimed by all the global warming, climate change, oh I broke a nail activists and alarmists is still BS regarding the rising seas. 1 2 Quote

And there was a beautifully engraved Darne shotgun - most probably stolen from a French colonial - but the barrels had been cut to about 12 inches. That making it NFA, so the writer would not be able to import it into the country. But he had many pictures of it. And I've been in love with them ever since. Never seen a real one, but God I want one. Save your pennies, they can sometimes be found at online gun auctions. I haven't seen one in a while, but think a minimum of $1500 and up. Quote
