Chatham is a historic Cape Cod town with coastline on Nantucket
Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The first European settler, William
Nickerson, recognized its beauty and knew that farming and fishing
would provide sustenance for future settlers. Chatham has many
stories to tell-tales of boating and fishing, railroads and hotels,
churches and theaters, shipwrecks and rescues, and wireless
communication and war efforts. With vivid photographs, Chatham
brings the town to life from the early 1800s to the 1960s. In these
pages, see Chatham's lighthouse, which has warned of treacherous
sandbars off the coast and has witnessed hundreds of shipwrecks
since 1808, and the Mack Monument, which memorializes one valiant
rescue. Visit the South Chatham Village Hall, which has rocked with
laughter at Silver Circle entertainments; the Fourth of July
parades; the 1912 and 1962 festivities celebrating Chatham's
incorporation; and the weekly summer band concerts. Learn how
technology changed Chatham from the arrival of the railroad and the
building of the Marconi Wireless Station to the construction of the
Chatham Naval Air Station, with its blimps and seaplanes protecting
the East Coast from German submarines during World War I.
