During World War II, with Allied merchant and navy ships under the
threat of German U-boats, the eastern seaboard was on high alert.
The Cape Cod Canal, a vital waterway for commercial and military
traffic, underwent a period of strict control, occupation, and
defense. This pictorial history documents the activity during that
time and the extensive array of weaponry and manpower brought to
bear in coastal defense.
In The Military History of the Cape Cod Canal, the abandoned
foundations at Sagamore Hill and throughout most of Buzzards Bay
are explored, as well as the weapons, devices, and personnel
assigned to ensure the canal's integrity throughout the war.
Although the responsibilities of the U.S. Army's Coast Artillery
are a focal point, the actions of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast
Guard, and the air arms of all the military services during World
War II are also included. The Military History of the Cape Cod
Canal documents the mishaps, collisions, and war-damaged ships in
and near the canal, as well as the joint military protection forces
and plans in effect during World War II.
