The Future of Falmouth’s South Shore ii May 23, 2003 Final Report by the Coastal Resources Working Group Town of Falmouth, MA Executive Summary In April, 2000, the Falmouth Board of Selectmen formed the Coastal Resources Working Group (CRWG) and charged the Group to explore reasons for the current condition of the coastal zone and to provide future scenarios for the coastal zone based on an understanding of physical processes and management approaches. The fundamental finding of the Coastal Resources Working Group (CRWG) is that over the past 150 years, the Falmouth shoreline has been developed in a manner that has significantly impaired the ability of the coast to evolve in response to natural processes, leading to an overall decrease in the viability of the coastal system.

  • 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.

  • Provincetown Past
    20 boats took part in cod fishing and each would haul from 40 to 60 "quintals" (a 100-weight) of fish per day during the height of the spring season. Salt manufacturing was a second trade at the Long Point settlement. Eldridge Nickerson built the first complex of saltworks that consisted of 3000 square feet of troughs. Windmills were constructed to pump sea water into the evaporating troughs, and as many as six windmills dotted the landscape as the industry grew. The annual output of the saltworks was approximately 600 "hogsheads" of high-quality salt. Readers not familiar with the hogshead measurement should note that a hogs- head was a large cask with a normal capacity of 63 gallons, although large hogsheads held up to 140gallons. The salt- works prospered for a time, but they proved unprofitable when less expensive salt deposits were DISCOVEREDnear Syr- acuse, New York. The original Long PointLight, also known as Stationary plaque identifies the historically significant buildings Light, was built in 1826 and was illuminated for the first time in 1827. According to one author, "Itwas technically described as being on Long PointShoal,inside Cape Cod, in Latitude 42 degrees, 2 minutes, 45 seconds North, and Provincetown Past Longitude 70 degrees, 7 minutes, 45 seconds West."The lighthouse was described as standing 28 feet above sea level, The Long Point Settlement and its beam could be seen 13 miles out to sea. Fishing and the saltworks provided employment for the adult population on the Point, but the children needed education.
