| Description: |
Most
of us who've enjoyed the sight of Harwichport's appealing little
harbor have seldom gone a-sailing; even fewer have sailed from
here, but everything about the scene, from the ever-changing
movements of the boats to the glimpse of the ocean beyond, speaks
to the romantic in us.
Because of its almost perfect circle, a retired sea captain,
after the Civil War, created a ½ mile race track around
a pond. After damage from several storms to the southern point
close to shore, the town fathers decided to create a harbor
and move the race track. So, a channel was cut, and the pond
dredged. "Wychmere" comes from a cottage colony established
in Harwich in the 1880's. |
