| Description: |
In
the 1800's the dock at Bass Hole in Yarmouthport was a thriving
scene of sailboats and steamships. Many people would choose
to sail to Boston rather than make the rough trip by stagecoach.
In 1911 the heirs of Henry C. Thatcher donated land and gave
money to make access to Cape Cod Bay easier by building a 1000-foot
boardwalk across the marsh. The boardwalk was rebuilt in 1992
after being destroyed by years after storms. The sails are mostly
gone now but the walk is used each year by thousands of people
heading to the beach. |
