5. I enjoyed the experience of visiting the maritime mostly because I had visited there a few days ago and did not know that it was a national park until visiting there the second time. I was quite intrigued with how popular the maritime site was in the past and how successful it was in terms of making an economy for the citizens of Salem. The ocean smelled quite salty, much more salty than the ocean in Boston, which I found interesting. Being able to see some of the places that we studied was quite interesting because it helped us learn some of culture and the lifestyle of the people who have lived there from four hundred years ago up until present day.

6. How have the lifestyles of people living in Salem changed overtime and how do they affect the economy of Salem and the rest of the United States?
