EASTHAM Cape Cod’s Outer Beach has always been known for its shipwrecks. Between 1626 and the mid-20th century, this solitary 40-mile stretch of what is now the outer beach of the Cape Cod National Seashore saw the demise of more than 3,000 vessels.
It’s been said that if all the wrecks were raised, one could walk from Provincetown to Chatham without getting his or her feet wet.
Since 2015, Don Wilding has been writing the popular “Shore Lore” column for The Cape Codder, often focusing on maritime tragedies. He has now compiled some of those columns and more research for his third book, “Cape Cod Shipwrecks: Stories of Tragedy and Triumph.”
