Download or read book Cape Cod Canal written by Timothy T. Orwig for Historic New England and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cape Cod was known as a ship's graveyard but the Cape Cod Canal, proposed in 1776 and built in 1914 became a vital shipping link and a marvel of engineering. For centuries, the shoals and high winds around Cape Cod turned its waters into a ships' graveyard. In 1623, Miles Standish proposed a shorter, safer passage by building a canal linking Cape Cod Bay with Buzzards Bay, and in 1776, George Washington ordered the first of many surveys. All attempts failed until 1914, when the Cape Cod Canal opened as a private toll canal. The widest sea-level canal in the world, the Cape Cod Canal continues to be an engineering marvel, a vital shipping link, and a summer destination. These rare images from the Nina Heald Webber Collection at Historic New England survey the canal's development from unsuccessful building efforts in the 1800s, through its 1909-1914 construction, and subsequent improvements in the 1930s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book 100 Facts About Cape Cod written by Science-Based Language Learning Lab and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2024-06-09 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series Welcome to an innovative approach to language learning! This series of books is crafted to help you master a new language (Italian) through engaging with topics that captivate your interest (Cape Cod). Each book is centered around a theme–whether it's art, science, history, or another subject–and presents 100 carefully selected facts, each a gem of knowledge in both English and the target language. Here's how our unique format works: each fact is introduced in the target language where you do your best to interpret the fact. On the next page, the fact is shown in English, and then repeated in the target language where you can start making sense of any unfamiliar terms. This method is not only repetitive to aid memorization but also concise, ensuring that learning is streamlined with no excess verbiage. The second half of the book presents the content in English, then in the target language, and finally in English again, giving you the chance to translate in both directions and demonstrate true mastery of the material. The benefits of this approach are manifold: - Concise Learning: By focusing on simple, one-sentence facts, the learning process is distilled to its essence. This conciseness ensures that every word you learn is impactful and directly related to your interests, making the information easier to remember. - Reinforcement of Learning: Alternating between English and the target language with each fact helps reinforce your new vocabulary and grammatical structures naturally. It bridges the gap between the two languages, solidifying your learning through constant, practical application. - Contextual and Engaged Learning: Associating each new word with a fact about a topic you are passionate about not only makes the vocabulary stickier but also keeps your learning process dynamic and engaging. This method not only teaches you a new language but does so through the lens of your personal passions. - Dual Knowledge Acquisition: As you navigate through these 100 facts, you're not just learning a new language; you're also deepening your knowledge about a specific subject. This dual focus not only enhances the language learning experience but also enriches your understanding of your chosen topic. Designed for learners who thrive on clear, targeted information, this series promises a learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner or looking to broaden your linguistic skills, these books are tailored to make your educational journey as effective and engaging as possible. Embrace this journey of 100 facts, and let your passions fuel your progress in mastering a new language!
