Cape Cod, the hooked peninsula at the southeastern edge of Massachusetts, spent the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries moving away from the whaling and deep-sea fishing that had once filled its harbors. Railroad lines reaching the Cape after the 1840s carried cranberries, salt fish, and summer visitors from Boston, and cranberry bogs spread through the low, sandy hollows between the towns. The Cape Cod Canal, opened in 1914, gave coastal shipping a route across the neck of land that avoided the treacherous waters off the Cape's outer shoals. By then, boarding houses and hotels were drawing city families to the beaches, and many residents who had worked on schooners or in the salt works were turning to farming, hotels, and seasonal trade for a living.
