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.

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.

Reviving a Tradition Early in its history, when it was still named the Dukes County Intelli- gencer, this journal occasionally devoted an entire issue to a single subject. The first examples were relatively brief: Lloyd C. M. Hare on Vineyard whaling captains in San Francisco (February 1960), Sidney N. Riggs on Vineyard meeting houses (August 1960), and Alice Forbes Howland on the Pasque Island Fishing Club (February 1962) all topped out at twenty pages. Over time, however, they began to grow. Joseph Elvin’s article on the history of trap fishing, which took up the entirety of the May 1964 is- sue, was thirty-five pages, and Allan Keith’s on the mammals of Martha’s Vineyard (November 1969) was fifty-two.
