Cape Cod in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was a place of small harbor towns whose lives rested on the sea and on the land. Cod and mackerel fishing, salt works, and shipbuilding had long supported villages from Barnstable to Provincetown, though the fishing fleets were shrinking as the century turned. The Cape Cod Branch railroad, opened to Hyannis in 1854, carried cranberries, fish, and mail out of the region and brought summer visitors in, and that traffic pushed hotels and boarding houses up along the shore. Cranberry bogs spread across the low wet ground of the towns, and many families knew the Cape first as a working landscape of fishermen, growers, and coasting captains. The sea was never far from anyone's mind.
