Hype for the Future 66E: Upper Cape

Introduction The Upper Cape region of Barnstable County, Massachusetts, consists of the four westernmost towns in the county: Mashpee, Falmouth, Sandwich, and Bourne. The Towns of Mashpee and Falmouth have shores on the Nantucket Sound, with Falmouth also containing a southwestern shore on the Vineyard Sound and a western shore on Buzzards Bay. Of the four towns, only Sandwich contains a shoreline on the Cape Cod Bay, though the Town of Bourne contains a shoreline further into Buzzards Bay […]

Hype for the Future 65C: Martha’s Vineyard, the Island of Dukes County

Introduction While the Elizabeth Islands that separate the Buzzards Bay from the Vineyard Sound are located off the coast of the Woods Hole area and contain the Town of Gosnold, the vast majority of the approximately seventy (70) permanent residents are exclusively within the area of the village of Cuttyhunk on Cuttyhunk Island specifically, as the remaining islands are largely identified as privately owned by the Boston Brahmin Forbes family. The vast majority of Dukes County, […]

1200-ton railroad bridge over Cape Cod canal, Buzzard's Bay, Mass. [ca. 1910]

1 photographic print. | Drawbridge.

The Cape Cod Canal is an artificial waterway in Massachusetts connecting Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south, and is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The approximately 7.4-mile-long (11.9 km) canal traverses the neck of land joining Cape Cod to the state's mainland. It mostly follows tidal rivers widened to 480 feet (150 m) and deepened to 32 feet (9.8 m) at mean low water, shaving up to 135 miles (217 km) off the journey around the cape for its approximately 14,000 annual users.

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a large, industrial-style bridge structure. The bridge is built with a robust steel framework, featuring a complex lattice design that is characteristic of early 20th-century engineering. The bridge appears to be in the process of construction or modification, as there are visible supports and scaffolding around it, indicating ongoing work. The bridge spans across a body of water, and the reflection of the bridge can be seen on the water's surface, adding a symmetrical element to the image. In the background, there are some structures and what appear to be buildings, suggesting an urban or industrial setting. The overall tone of the image is historical, with the style and quality of the photograph indicating it is from an earlier time period. The text "Simat" is visible in the bottom right corner, which could be a signature or watermark.

On the Horizon 25C: The Town of Gosnold, Massachusetts

The Town of Gosnold, Massachusetts, is located on the Elizabeth Islands, all of which are claimed by Dukes County, and all but two of which are also claimed by the Boston Brahmins by way of the Forbes family. Cuttyhunk Island is home to the vast majority of the approximately seventy people of the Town of Gosnold, the smallest of the towns of Massachusetts.

Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse sits in Buzzards Bay about two miles out from the nearest shore; so minus a boat, drone, or high-powered telephoto lens, it’s pretty tough to get a clear image. I’ve tried several times, and these are as good as I’ve gotten:

Photo 1: Taken 7/4/23 from the west side of Buzzards Bay
Photo 2: Taken 3/19/23 from North Falmouth, on the Cape side of the Bay

Construction of the lighthouse was completed in 1943, which I believe makes it the “newest” lighthouse in Massachusetts — at least I can’t think of any more recent. Despite its relative newness, this lighthouse certainly captures my imagination: for me, the more remote and inaccessible a lighthouse is, the more mysterious it is, and therefore the more appealing. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything Art Moderne.

Trivia Bonus: I’ve often wondered why the shoals the lighthouse is built on were named Cleveland Ledge — this being Massachusetts and not Ohio. Turns out it’s named after the president, not the city. Originally known as Pocasset Ledge, it was a favorite fishing spot for President Grover Cleveland, who spent summers in Bourne while in office (and presumably while out of office: he served two non-consecutive terms). Over time it took on his name.
