Chatham, at the elbow of Cape Cod, was a sea-dependent town in the decades around 1900. Its harbor and the offshore bars at Monomoy supported a fleet that fished for cod and mackerel, and the men who worked those boats knew the shoals that had wrecked many vessels along the outer shore. Rail service reaching the Cape in the 1880s brought passengers and freight from the mainland and began drawing summer visitors who took rooms and built cottages near the water. Town life centered on its churches, schools, and the lighthouse, and residents thought of their community as a fishing village slowly becoming a resort.
