Marblehead, Massachusetts, in 1912 was a harbor town on the North Shore that still looked to the water for its living, even as its old cod trade had long since dwindled. Fishing boats, sail and boatbuilding yards, and the small shops that served a year-round population kept the waterfront busy, while the town's older families remembered when Marblehead had been one of the busiest fishing ports in New England. Summer visitors from Boston and beyond had made Marblehead Neck a fashionable resort, and yachting drew wealthy owners to the harbor each season. Residents of the time would have known the town first for its seafaring past and its tight-knit harbor life, a identity that the summer trade and the nearby rail connections to Salem and Boston were slowly reshaping.
