  • Fish and Morse Family and Descendents
    Woods Hole Historical Collection P.O. 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.

  • 10 Highland Light Road Truro, Massachusetts 02652 Www
    The Truro Highlands Historic District encompasses an area of North Truro, Massachusetts, within the Cape Cod National Seashore, that has served as a Cape Cod recreational destination for more than 175 years. National Seashore The major features of the district, which is centered on Highland Road east of US 6, are the Highland Light Station, the Highland House (now a museum), and the Highland Links, one of the oldest golf courses on Cape Cod. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. One of Cape Cod’s oldest golf courses, perhaps its most scenic, Highland Links in North Truro is one of America’s golf treasures, perched high along windswept bluffs overlooking the Atlantic next to the vintage Highland Light.
