Box 185 Woods Hole, MA 02543 REGISTER Fish-Morse Collection Accession Number 92-10 1724-1995 and to date 25 boxes FISH-MORSE COLLECTION HISTORY The Fish family of Quissett traces its ancestry to Nathan Fish, born 1660, probably in Sandwich, Massachusetts. His son Samuel was born in Falmouth and so was Samuel’s son Samuel. The second Samuel’s son Thomas (1762-1848) was the founder of the family which settled in the Quissett Harbor area between Falmouth and Woods Hole. Thomas Fish was a ship-builder, fought in the Revolutionary War and later became a teacher, a Justice of the Peace and a Barnstable County Commissioner. Most importantly, he was a representative to the Massachusetts State Legislature for 21 years. This position resulted in long absences from his beloved Quissett. In Falmouth he was important in the Congregational Church and became a Deacon of that church. This title preceded his name for the rest of his life. Thomas built the family “Homestead” on the east side of Quissett Harbor. During the time it was owned by his son Joseph (1804-1899) and later by his grandson, Thomas Dunham Fish (1840-1928), a porch was added to the front of the center-hall five-bay Colonial. Joseph married a lovely lady from Martha’s Vineyard, Albinia Daggett, and this firmly cemented the family to families from the Vineyard, including members of the Yale family. Thomas Dunham Fish married Albina Daggett Yale and Albina’s sister Sarah Smith Boardman Yale married Stephen W. Carey, a man of great influence in the later history of the Quissett Harbor area.

  • 2.5 Water Transportation
    2.5 WATER TRANSPORTATION The primary form of public water transportation on Cape Cod is ferry service, carrying passengers between the mainland and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. A significant amount of freight is carried by water transportation as well. As a result, the region’s seaports and channels are vital in addressing the economic and transportation needs of Cape Cod. 2.5.1 CAPE COD SEAPORTS Cape Cod has 586 miles of tidal coastline, with many inlets and bays that provide marine access to the land. Seaports have been constructed along several of these bays and inlets to facilitate the transfer of people and goods from water to land transportation. Significant Cape Cod seaports are recognized in reports by the Army Corps of Engineers, the agency that maintains many of them. These and other seaports are discussed in this section. 2.5.1.1 Woods Hole Harbor Woods Hole Harbor, located in Falmouth, is a primary seaport for Cape Cod. It is split into two harbors by Juniper Point: Great Harbor and Little Harbor (Figure 2 and Figure 3). Little Harbor is located in the 550,000 square feet of water between Juniper and Nobska Points. In 1906, the Army Corps of Engineers completed a 1,600 foot-long channel from the Little Harbor to Vineyard Sound, as well as a turning basin. The Coast Guard widened and deepened both projects in the 1960s to a depth of 17 feet and a width of 200 and 400 feet respectively. Located on the western side of Little Harbor is a Coast Guard station, which is also used for recreational purposes.
