Explore relaxed and laid-back Martha's Vineyard. Walk along Boston's Freedom Trail. The rays of the rising sun touch the top of Cadillac Mountain before any other spot in the country, and on island-dotted Penobscot Bay, little Bar Harbor wakes to another busy day.

Fast and nimble, they preyed on enemy ships and brought their booty to the vast warehouses along Privateer's Wharf.
