Falmouth in 1941 was still recovering from the New England hurricane of September 1938, which tore through the shore, flooded the harbor and waterfront, and destroyed many beachfront cottages. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, chartered in 1930, had become the town's newer scientific anchor, and its research vessels worked the same coastal waters local fishermen had long depended on. Inland on the Upper Cape, the Massachusetts National Guard's Camp Edwards drew soldiers for training, and a military airfield developed nearby in the late 1930s was taking shape. As war in Europe grew closer that year, residents watched the village centers, the harbor, and the summer colony keep to the seasonal rhythms that had shaped the town for generations.
