Description:	Scene from the largest ever International Naval Review, in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In the distance, the sun is rising over the ocean, which is full of rows of warships extending all the way back to the horizon. A sign states that 60 of the ships belong to the U.S. Navy. Secretary of Defense Wilson holds up a sign that says the last such review took place in 1907, when Theodore Roosevelt was president. In the foreground, The Mayflower The Second pulls into the harbor. The captain says that the ship beat the original Mayflowers Atlantic Ocean crossing by 13 days. A rowboat full of people dressed as pilgrims celebrate the ships arrival. A man dressed as a pilgrim stands on Plymouth Rock and greets the ship. A man wearing colonial dress and standing in Jamestown, Virginia, holds up a sign reminding everyone that Jamestown was settled 13 years before Plymouth. In the bottom left corner, the Earth (a man with a globe for a head), Public, and an older man and woman greet the Mayflower II as well. The older couple represent the descendants of the original Mayflowers passengers.
