The rock isn't where the Pilgrims found it.

Photo of Plymouth Rock misrepresented to dispute rising sea levels | AP News
CLAIM: A photo of Plymouth Rock sitting in a small amount of water proves that sea levels have not risen significantly over the last 402 years due to climate change.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Plymouth Rock has not remained in its original location over the centuries, and sea level rise has been well-documented in the surrounding region, experts say. In addition, the photo also does not take account of regular tidal fluctuations.

But the photo is being misrepresented, experts say. The rock has been broken, split, and relocated multiple times over the past two and a half centuries, Donna D. Curtin, executive director of the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. Such instances include the rock possibly being raised from its original location in 1749 due to the construction of a wharf, the removal of its top portion in 1774, and later its excavation and relocation onto the shoreline in 1920, she noted.
