Wellfleet
When Nicholas Snow bought Billingsgate Island in the 1640s, he could not imagine where it would be today. Generations lived there and built homes, wharves, a school, and a lighthouse. By 1922, the sea swallowed this Wellfleet island, leaving nothing but a brickstrewn shoal, visible only at low tide.

Wellfleet
Wellfleet is among the most picturesque villages on Cape Cod. Its rich history weaves a tale of sailors and boatbuilders, travelers and artists, and even ghosts and pirates. Here, in the pages of Wellfleet, trace the story of this fascinating village, from the old Congregational church steeple, which still tolls the hours according to ships’ bells, to Billingsgate, the lost island whose lighthouse and village were swallowed by the sea. Wellfleet’s history is undeniably tied to the sea. Of the many shipwrecks off Wellfleet’s shores, the most famous is the wreck of the Whydah—the pirate ship captained by “Black Sam” Bellamy. It sank in a storm in 1717, and artifacts from the ship now form a museum. Ruins of Marconi’s wireless station, where the first transatlantic communication was made, are still visible on the dunes of Marconi Beach. The fishing boats still leave the harbor every morning as their predecessors did, and the remains of the old wharves, the shipbuilders’ shops, the customs house, and the lighthouse can still be seen today in a town transformed into a thriving artists’ community.

Wellfleet Tales
Rick grew up in the village of Wellfleet, Cape Cod, Massachusetts (1952-1972) in a simpler time and place. With affection and humor, these short stories tell the tale of a tight knit community, a tiny high school and its teachers, generous community volunteers and quirky town characters. It is set in Wellfleet, but it could be any small town in the fifties and sixties in the "good old days."
