Better than witches

The witch-related attractions in Salem can be a bit silly or cliche - but the Salem Maritime site does not disappoint. I had a surprisingly good time. Make sure you get a tour inside the Salem Custom-House where Nathaniel Hawthorne once worked. The story told here is an important one in the development of the New England (and US) economy. Certainly a must-visit for sailors and land-lubbers alike.
