Martha's Vineyard in 1893 was an island of three distinct harbor towns, Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, and Oak Bluffs, each with its own character. Edgartown, the Dukes County seat, still carried the look of its whaling past, though the whaling trade had dwindled after the Civil War and the town now relied more on summer visitors and coastal trade. Vineyard Haven, known as Holmes Hole until 1871, served as the island's main steamboat landing, where ferries from the mainland brought passengers and freight. Oak Bluffs, then called Cottage City, had grown out of the Methodist camp meeting grounds at Wesleyan Grove, and its rows of ornate gingerbread cottages drew summer crowds from Boston and beyond.
