Provincetown, Mass. Bird's-eye view. Includes index to points of interest.. Looking in a northwesterly direction toward Cape Cod Bay and the distant Boston shoreline, this bird's eye view portrays Provincetown at a time when the town was transitioning from a community dependent on fishing to one whose economy and culture were increasingly tied to the annual influx of summer residents and a growing artists and writers community. The central focus of this view is Provincetowns most striking architectural feature the Pilgrim Monument. This 252-foot tower was completed just as the view was published in 1910. Celebrating this locale's historic origins, the monument was built to commemorate the Mayflowers five-week stay at the tip of Cape Cod before the Pilgrims decided to shift their base to Plymouth Bay. The view also provides evidence of the communitys changing economy. Numerous wharves, a mixture of steam and sailing ships in the harbor, and three cold storage plants for processing fish
