Cape Cod in 1755 was a sandy, lightly settled peninsula inside the Province of Massachusetts Bay, still a few years from the final defeat of France in North America. Its towns, including Barnstable, Yarmouth, Eastham, and Truro, depended on the sea. Families fished for cod and mackerel, made salt by evaporating seawater, and built small vessels for the coastal and West Indies trade, while the outer beaches claimed ships in storms. Seaside wrecks, scarce farmland, and the slow overland road to Plymouth shaped how residents saw their home, as an isolated place where the ocean provided both a living and constant danger.
