Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the decades around 1900 was a region of small harbor towns that lived by the sea. Fishing fleets, coasting schooners, and cranberry bogs supplied much of the local income, and the railroad that reached Hyannis in the 1850s had brought summer visitors and freight to the Cape's interior. Whaling, once central to towns like Provincetown and Wellfleet, had faded by then, leaving captains' houses and shipyards that townspeople still pointed to with pride. The Cape Cod Canal, begun in 1909 and opened in 1914, would soon shorten the sea route to Boston, though this map's view predates that change for most residents.
