In 1917, Chatham was a Cape Cod harbor town that had just been pulled into the First World War. After the United States entered the war in April, the Navy set up a seaplane station nearby to patrol the coast against submarines, and local men and boys found work on the base, in the fish houses, and in the coastal trades that still kept the village going. Fishing, cranberry growing, and the summer visitors who filled the town's boarding houses each season supplied most of the local living. Residents would have known Chatham as a place where war news came in by mail and telegraph, and where the sea that had always fed the town now also watched for enemy ships.
