Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the later nineteenth century was a region of fishing ports, salt works, and farms on sandy soil, with much of its livelihood tied to the sea. The Cape Cod Railroad reached Sandwich in 1848 and Hyannis in 1854, connecting villages that had relied on coastal schooners to reach outside markets. Cranberry bogs were becoming an important source of income across the towns of the lower Cape, while Provincetown's fleet fished for mackerel and cod from its harbor at the tip of the peninsula. Residents of towns such as Barnstable and Yarmouth thought of their communities first as seafaring villages, though summer visitors were beginning to arrive.
