Whaling Captains of Cape Cod - presented by Michael Pregot

From its earliest roots of indigenous fishing to the Puritans landing at Provincetown, through the American Revolution, during the glory days of the "Great Age of Sail" and eventually to worldwide shipping and passenger travel, Cape Cod can claim a major role in each aspect of American maritime history. The personal stories of the courageous men and women who made it happen deserve a chance to be heard. Every Cape Cod community can boast of famous and lesser-known seafaring figures who made the ocean world their personal home. Come join us for a presentation by Dr. Michael V. Pregot focused on the whaling captains of Wellfleet.
