Massachusetts is called the Bay State for good reason as can be seen here. This image includes Block Island, Narragansett Bay, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, all of Cape Cod, Buzzards Bay, Plymouth Bay, Boston, Cape Ann, and Portsmouth, NH. Boating is very popular in this region during the summer and many boats can be seen, especially in Buzzards Bay and around Martha's Vineyard. East of Gloucester are feeding grounds for humpback whales who have returned for the summer from their winter migration to the Caicos Islands. The Boston area is proud of its history and the key role it played during the Revolutionary War. These events are celebrated with great pride and passion every 4th of July. There are no better places to witness this celebration than Boston and the surrounding towns.

The area covered by this image is approximately 92x138 miles. A full-resolution crop of the image file is available here that shows the detail present in the full image print. Note: the bright area around Cape Cod is glare from the sun. This image combines breadth of coverage with fine detail and so is best printed at the large size, 35"x47", to display all of its detail.
