The Secret Lives of LH Hoppers, Cape Cod June 2011 The Secret Lives of Lighthouse Hoppers Our intrepid author shares experiences visiting these historical wonders alongside her inspector husband. ach time, it’s the same. Walking inside a cramped, narrow tower, we climb up a steep, spiraling blend of architecture and history. Our breaths, heaving on the precarious climb, E suddenly catch upon reaching our destination—especially if it’s a clear, blue-sky day. We’re stunned into silence, awed by the seagull’s-eye view of the ocean and surrounding area. Finally, we exhale. As lighthouse hoppers, we’ve “bagged” another. While I gaze out onto the 360-degree-span of ocean and land, snap- ping pictures, my husband is eyeballing ceilings, walls and floors for cracks and crevices like a hawk. Lighthouse hopping—a unique, nauti- cal hobby for me and many lighthouse lovers—has been, for the most part, my husband’s job. As a U.S. Coast Guard construction inspector for over 30 years, he oversees the surveying and inspections of vari- ous Coast Guard buildings and facilities—including the restorations of lighthouses dotting the coastline throughout New England. Upon discovering his career, people immediately gush. “What a unique job!” they say. “You’re so lucky, going to the beach for work.” To which he quickly retorts, “You should try this job in January!” BY KATHY SHIELS TULLY PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAN CUTRONA Lighthouse hoppers usually note the direction of a light’s spiral stair- case.

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.

  • Cape Cod Lighthouses TCCI
    Cape Cod Lighthouses Locations Click on a lighthouse on the map for more information The climb up circular stairs to the top of a lighthouse tower is not for the squeamish or for those afraid of heights. Most lighthouses have interesting stories related to their history. Some are open to the public and have “visiting hours.” Others are open only on special occasions. Usually a tour guide will take you through the building and offer you tales of lighthouse living. The winding staircases, the distant echo of your footsteps, waves hitting against the rock, distant ship hooting…that’s the dejavu you get when you visit the Cape Cod Lighthouses. It is as if you are part of the whole system that emits navigational lights to guide hundreds of ships to dock safely. Lighthouses are navigational aids that mark the perilous reeds, hazardous shoals and poorly charted coastlines for safe harbor entry. Once upon a time, the lighthouses were the marine pilot’s most important aids but the advent of electronic navigation has led to their decline. The system of lights and lamps on the lighthouses are also expensive to maintain. The vantage points occupied by the lighthouses make them a tourists’ attraction. You’ll go up the winding staircase with your pair of binoculars and voila! The beautiful Cape Cod Coastline spreads right before your eyes. Race Point Light Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Race Point Lighthouse is one of the historical building in the National Register of Historic Places. It was first built in 1816, but the current 45-foot tall tower was built in 1876.

FIRST EDITION DECEMBER 1944 Boston Printing Company boston, massachusetts PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN MEMORY OF MY GRANDFATHER CAPTAIN JOSHUA NICKERSON ROWE WHO FOUGHT PIRATES WHILE ON THE CLIPPER SHIP CRYSTAL PALACE PREFACE Reader—here is a volume devoted exclusively to the buccaneers and pirates who infested the shores, bays, and islands of the Atlantic Coast of North America. This is no collection of Old Wives' Tales, half-myth, half-truth, handed down from year to year with the story more distorted with each telling, nor is it a work of fiction. This book is an accurate account of the most outstanding pirates who ever visited the shores of the Atlantic Coast. These are stories of stark realism. None of the arti- ficial school of sheltered existence is included. Except for the extreme profanity, blasphemy, and obscenity in which most pirates were adept, everything has been included which is essential for the reader to get a true and fair picture of the life of a sea-rover.
