On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower landed at the tip of Cape
Cod, allowing the Pilgrims their first glimpse of America and
their first contact with what was to become their new home. In
the nearly four hundred years since their arrival, Provincetown, a
charming and historic seaport town, has been an important port for
Cod, allowing the Pilgrims their first glimpse of America and
their first contact with what was to become their new home. In
the nearly four hundred years since their arrival, Provincetown, a
charming and historic seaport town, has been an important port for
fishing and whaling vessels, a favorite destination for vacationers, and
a haven for those looking to make this unique community their home.
Established in 1727, Provincetown first found prosperity in the
trade and commerce of the fishing and whaling industries. At the turn
of the twentieth century, however, the seaport's beguiling charms and
innate beauty were discovered by artists and writers who flocked to the
seashore in successive droves. The spirit and energy of these new yearround
residents and seasonal creative individuals injected new life
into the heart of the community. The more than two hundred blackand-
white images in this delightful volume, most of which are from
vintage postcards, chronicle the evolution of Provincetown--from
the conception, building, and dedication of the Pilgrim Memorial
Monument, America's tallest granite monument, to the activities of
residents and tourists at work and play in the three neighborhoods of
this enchanting Cape Cod town.
