#oldstonedock Gunning_Village_Har_0173 through 0188 Hunt_Village_Bch_0089 through 0095 00:46 Stone Dock 00:47 it's uh it's a relic 00:50 of of what commerce was in Falmouth 00:53 during the 19th century 00:55 and you don't get to see things like 00:57 that along the shoreline much anymore at 00:59 all 01:00 in fact if you were to go down to the 01:02 shore today 01:04 there's a sign that says it's the kiddie 01:06 pool and for all the world nobody has 01:09 ever asked why you would build a kiddie 01:10 pool out of granite blocks 1 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 01:13 but nevertheless it's uh it's all been 01:15 silted in 01:17 but in its day and its day was 200 years 01:19 ago 01:21 it was built in 1817 #1817 01:24 following a hurricane of 1815 #1815 #hurricane 01:28 of course they weren't called hurricanes 01:30 then it was the great gale 01:31 of September 1815. 01:36 there are three hurricanes that have 01:38 really ravaged through the 01:40 New England area has lots of hurricanes 01:43 but the first one was in 1635 when 01:46 Boston and the and the Pilgrims and and 01:48 the colonies were just getting started 01:50 the second one 01:52 the same power and magnitude was the 01:54 Storm of 1815 01:56 and then the third one was a hurricane 01:59 of 1938 which 02:01 which people are far more familiar with 02:03 and they see pictures of the destruction 02:05 and so forth 02:06 but meteorologists will tell you that 02:08 those three hurricanes were very similar 02:10 in their track and their speed they came #gale #1938 2 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 02:13 up the coast with a speed of 100 miles 02:14 an hour they were blowing 100 mile per 02:16 hour winds 02:17 and they just destroyed everything in 02:19 their path 02:20 prior to 1817 then this Old Stone Dock 02:25 there was a a dock that was made out of 02:28 wood 02:29 uh and we think it was built in 1805 and 02:31 it would have been built out of palmetto 02:33 logs 02:34 which is basically a palm tree uh 02:37 obviously no palm trees growing around 02:39 Falmouth so 02:40 once again a surmise is that probably uh 02:44 Captain Swift brought them up in his 02:47 as part of his live oak adventures going 02:50 at getting wood 02:51 down out of the Carolinas and into 02:53 Florida 02:54 and so he probably brought these very 02:56 resilient palmetto logs 02:58 up to up to Falmouth there's not much 03:02 that 03:03 will verify that there was a dock prior 03:06 to this but it seems logical that that #1805 #swift #elijahswift 3 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 03:10 was 03:10 the landing place of some sort it was 03:14 the scene 03:14 of the British invasion or 03:18 attempted invasion in January of 1779 #1779 03:21 during the American Revolution #americanrevolution 03:23 they were repulsed they never landed 03:26 they did shoot musket balls at us and 03:28 they weren't too happy with us but they 03:29 didn't they weren't able to land 03:31 and the second time was in 1814 during 03:34 the 03:35 towards the end of the War of 1812 where 03:37 once again 03:39 the British came and tried to come 03:41 ashore they were repulsed again by 03:43 by our cannons so it would seem that 03:47 that's 03:47 probably there was probably some kind of 03:48 a landing area in that site prior to the 03:51 Old Stone Dock itself 03:55 the other reason why you'd think that 03:57 that was probably true is because that's 03:59 where 03:59 Falmouth was settled when the uh 04:03 the proprietors as they're called here 4 #1814 #warof1812 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 04:05 they're called different 04:06 different by different names but they're 04:08 the folks who basically 04:10 uh bought the land from the tribes the 04:13 the 04:14 indigenous tribes Wampanoags uh and uh #wampanoag 04:17 Nauset Indians #nauset 04:18 which was a sub-tribe of the Wampanoags 04:22 and the proprietors here started in 04:25 Barnstable 04:26 and came down we don't know whether they 04:28 came down by boat or by 04:29 by walking but if you look down in the 04:32 uh 04:33 down at the beach area today you'll see 04:36 what 04:36 what Jim Lloyd of the Historical 04:38 Department [Falmouth Historical Society?] likes to call 04:40 Falmouth Rock he said Plymouth has their #plymouth 04:42 Plymouth Rock we have our Falmouth Rock #plymouthrock 04:44 we have a rock that says these are the 04:47 proprietors they landed here in 18 04:49 uh in 1660 and so forth and 04:53 and founded the town well the 04:56 the tribe had been here first obviously #barnstable 5 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 04:58 they came down and we 04:59 uh we followed a lot of the Indian 05:01 trails to be here 05:03 uh and it makes sense because that area 05:06 of Surf Drive Beach opens onto a #surfdrivebeach 05:10 Vineyard Sound and then it has Siders #vineyardsound #siderspond Gunning_Village_Pnd_0148 and 0149 Hunt_Village_Pnd_136 05:12 Pond which is freshwater pond after 05:15 named after Consider Hatch one of the 05:16 original proprietors 05:18 is on the one side and on the other side 05:20 is Salt Pond #considerhatch #saltpond Gunning_Village_Sts_0010 through 0016 05:22 which is salt water and oysters are 05:25 plenty and that sort of thing 05:27 so there they were between fresh water 05:28 and salt water and the Sound so it was a 05:31 perfect 05:31 location for commerce and just 05:34 for survival you had the fish lots of 05:37 alewives the 05:38 herring run is right there which 05:40 is brackish water coming in 05:43 from the sound and going up towards 6 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 05:45 Siders Pond 05:46 so it's a perfect area to to 05:50 start the start the town 05:53 a lot of people you know are used to 05:56 seeing towns that have started from the 05:58 center and they move 05:59 outward because that's how the the 06:00 railroads did it 06:02 when when railroads were built and 06:04 they'd go along every 100 miles or 06:06 whatever the distance would be 06:08 did make the town grow right from the 06:10 depot and go 06:12 outward concentric circles for us it was 06:15 different and it was different for 06:16 for almost 100 years the commerce was 06:19 coming off of the off of the Surf Drive 06:21 Beach area 06:23 and the main area to to move was right 06:26 up Mill Road where the current Mill Road #millroad Gunning_Village_Sts_0001 through 0016 Hunt_Village_Sts_075 through 178 06:28 goes between the salt pond and the uh 06:32 fresh water pond uh and and on 06:36 up so the green was actually founded in 7 #falmouthvillagegreen �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth Gunning_Village_Sts_0053 through 0078 06:39 1749. #1749 06:40 so here we are at 1660 and then 1749 06:43 about 80 06:43 90 years later before they got up to the 06:46 green 06:47 so the center of commerce then 06:50 was right there on the on the beach so 06:53 this hurricane comes along and destroys 06:55 everything that was wooden and 06:57 through natural erosion you can imagine 06:59 the other wooden piers probably gave way 07:02 as the ships became larger or the 07:05 elements took took their toll on a 07:08 wooden pier 07:09 so along about 1817 then they say hey 07:13 what we really need to do is build this 07:16 thing to last 07:17 uh and I should probably just say at 07:20 that point 07:22 as I talked about the progression of the 07:23 town it goes up so it took 80 years to 07:25 get to the green and then it started 07:27 heading to the east it started heading 07:29 back down 8 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 07:30 towards uh towards Barnstable down down 07:32 Main Street #mainstreet Gunning_Village_Sts_0017 through 0041 07:34 and after a certain point they realized 07:36 that so far the only road to get to the 07:39 dock 07:39 was down Mill Road so here they are now 07:42 they're up at Locust they're going down 07:44 Main Street 07:46 and they're getting further and further 07:47 away so in 1800 07:50 just a few years before the Stone Dock 07:52 was built but in 1800 07:54 the townsfolk got together and said what 07:56 we really need to do is go 07:58 from this point which was right where 08:00 Barbo’s Furniture is right now 08:02 and go straight down to the pier and 08:04 that's why if you look at Shore Street #locuststreet #shorestreet Gunning_Village_Sts_0080 through 0083 Hunt_Village_Sts_171 and 172 08:06 it's eight tenths of a mile long 08:08 it's straight as an arrow and it's its 08:10 objective was to get 08:12 people from Main Street to the dock 9 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 08:15 uh that's what it was all about so 08:18 uh after this great gale of September 08:21 uh goes blowing through 08:24 the townsfolk got together and uh and 08:28 built this 08:29 granite block now the way that's built 08:32 is they import it and there's some 08:33 question as to exactly what those 08:35 granite blocks are 08:37 I like to think that the Falmouth 08:38 granite 08:40 underneath it all but of course after a 08:41 couple hundred years they're 08:43 they're all black and covered with 08:46 seaweed and so forth so it's really kind 08:48 of hard to distinguish 08:49 the origin of all those granite blocks 08:52 but the point of it was 08:54 they would build a a a 08:57 line which which you see right now 09:00 actually uh 09:01 of of granite blocks and then they built 09:04 the 09:05 the dock the actual docking area right 09:08 over it 09:09 so it's the same palmetto logs it's the #falmouthgranite 10 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 09:11 same planks it's the same everything 09:13 that you 09:13 used to seeing when you think of a pier 09:16 but this time they put the blocks in 09:18 there 09:19 so that it would be uh it would sort of 09:22 lend some extra support 09:24 to the the pier uh the piers themselves 09:27 and in 09:28 the uh the the structure of the of the 09:31 pier of the wharf so 09:34 that's what it is over time 09:38 all that all that wooden part you know 09:40 washed away again 09:41 but the granite blocks remain so why 09:44 wasn't it maintained 09:46 it wasn't maintained because as time 09:49 went on so that was built in 1815. 09:53 uh the gale was 1815 the the dock was 09:56 built in 1817 09:57 and things were going along fine but it 09:59 was about that time as 10:00 uh the railroad came to town and 10:04 the railroad starts coming down from 10:05 Boston and so forth 10:07 the Old Stone Dock is at least a mile 11 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 10:10 away 10:11 from the railroad station and 10:14 it just didn't work you couldn't send 10:16 freight down 10:19 on a train and get it to the pier in any 10:22 efficient manner the train dead 10:25 ended 10:26 in Woods Hole and of course that's where 10:29 the ferry terminal is today that's what 10:30 the Steamship 10:31 Authority is and that's where the 10:33 trains met 10:34 the boats so commerce went there 10:38 it also it's a much deeper uh harbor 10:41 in Woods Hole than it is off of Surf 10:44 Drive Beach 10:46 so the the question then became so what 10:49 happens now 10:51 it was a stone dock it was made for 10:52 commerce there were whalers 10:54 whaling ships that went there his 10:56 primary function was packet ships 10:58 and and by packets those would be ships 11:01 that would sail when you had the cargo 11:02 they didn't necessarily go on a schedule 11:05 you'd bring down your goods to to be #woodshole #steamshipauthority #whaling 12 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 11:07 freighted up to Boston or down to New #newyork 11:09 York and every port in between all 11:12 down down across the Martha's Vineyard #marthasvineyard 11:14 and over to New Bedford and Fall River #newbedford #fallriver 11:17 and so forth all those 11:18 uh all those ports between Boston and 11:21 Falmouth 11:22 and uh and New York were the frequent 11:27 markets for our strawberries the eels 11:30 the salt cranberries and so forth wood 11:34 that was the main commerce uh forestry 11:37 and so forth 11:38 incoming timbers uh as well uh 11:42 and since the Swifts were big in that 11:44 type of a trade 11:45 they would bring their goods up and 11:47 bring them to Falmouth 11:49 the Sarah Herrick is a uh is a whale 11:52 ship that was 11:53 registered or said to be to be 11:57 brought into the Falmouth dock so that's 11:59 how we know that there were whaling 12:01 ships there as well 12:03 but after the commerce now ends up in 12:06 Woods Hole 12:09 the dock started to become more #sarahherrick 13 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 12:12 available to people and if it didn't 12:15 have the upkeep that it did 12:16 boats used to be able to sail right 12:18 inside of it uh 12:20 now that won't happen the Book of #bookoffalmouth From FPL: REF LocHist 974.492 BOO 12:22 Falmouth mentions a 12:25 a black who had a mail 12:28 route he would uh sail to the Old Stone 12:31 Dock 12:32 with mail for the new town is that 12:35 accurate 12:36 I can bet it is I I I don't know for 12:40 sure but yeah that 12:41 that would be the type of commerce that 12:43 you would find 12:44 coming out of the dock and the heavy 12:47 stuff would end up going down towards 12:48 Woods Hole 12:49 but that type of mail run or milk run 12:52 type of a 12:53 run over to the Vineyard and out to 12:56 Nantucket #nantucket 12:57 and down to uh Cuttyhunk that would #cuttyhunk 12:59 have been 14 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 13:00 the the daily commerce going from the 13:03 Old Stone Dock 13:06 when things when the the railroad came 13:08 in then and went down there 13:10 they said that well they needed 13:12 someplace else for 13:14 a dock for for a harbor and that's when 13:17 the Inner Harbor was created #falmouthharbor Hunt_Village_Har_103 through 120 Gunning_Heights_Har_1320 through 1334 13:19 and that's why you'll still see 13:20 references on charts and 13:22 when people talk sometimes they'll talk 13:23 about the Inner Harbor 13:25 well that would be sort of old-time talk 13:28 because most people now talk about the 13:29 harbor and they think of the Flying #flyingbridge Gunning_Village_Bldg_0377 through 0383 13:31 Bridge Restaurant and 13:32 the commerce that goes on but it was 13:34 never heavy commerce if you look at it 13:37 you say well this used to be the Old 13:40 Stone Dock used to handle 13:42 handle hogsheads of produce and 15 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 13:45 fresh cut vegetables and so forth there 13:47 was never anything like that in 13:49 in Falmouth Harbor all that had gone to 13:51 Woods Hole 13:53 so Falmouth Harbor really became they 13:55 dredged out 13:56 if you take a look and you wonder why 13:58 why in the world Clinton Avenue is 14:01 so abruptly at the Clam Shack and then 14:03 resumes over in front of the Falmouth 14:05 Yacht Club 14:06 that was a road it had been cut off it 14:09 was it was a pond of its own it was 14:11 Deacon's Pond #clintonavenue #deaconspond Gunning_Village_Har_0190 14:12 and when it was dredged out it created 14:14 an inner harbor 14:16 and over the years that had been 14:17 improved and so forth 14:19 but that was in 1908 that the Inner 14:22 Harbor 14:23 opened up and for many years thereafter 14:26 people would sail their sailboats up to 14:29 up to the Old Stone Dock and they'd put 14:30 in there and many of uh 14:32 the Robert C. Hunt postcard collection #1908 16 #robertchunt #postcardcollection �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 14:36 has great pictures of tourist day 14:39 sailors 14:40 you know boats that you and I would have 14:42 uh pulled up to the Old Stone Dock 14:44 and it's featured right there you'll see 14:47 some that have a uh some of the pictures 14:49 will have the old time 14:51 uh bath house still in that picture 14:54 and you look at it and you get a much 14:57 better picture 14:58 in looking at those old postcards 15:01 than you would ever get today when you 15:03 look at at the 15:04 Old Stone Dock but those postcards will 15:07 give you some idea of the depth and the 15:09 type of commerce that could pull up 15:11 some of those postcards still have the 15:14 pilings that were lining the the Old 15:17 Stone Dock and if you look real close at 15:19 some of them 15:20 you'll see wooden side buoys there where 15:23 you'd be pulling up 15:25 so nobody wants to pull a ship up beside 15:27 a granite block I mean that's not how 15:29 you 15:29 how you treat a boat but so #bathhouse 17 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 15:33 over time as I say it's become a 15:35 favorite now for 15:37 the uh for the kiddie pool 15:40 if you talk to kids in Falmouth today 15:42 they'll tell you that they learned how 15:43 to 15:44 how to swim in the Old Stone Dock and 15:47 most of them don't even know that it was 15:48 there 15:50 a neighbor of ours Jim Crossen started #jamescrossen 15:53 the Old Stone Dock Association up in the #oldstonedockassociation 15:55 1970s 15:56 and really brought a lot of history with 15:58 it and brought a lot of 16:00 attention to this relic it is 16:03 really it's a monument to to Falmouth to 16:06 have that here 16:07 and there's very few towns who can point 16:09 to something on the waterfront and say 16:10 that was there 200 years ago 16:12 so the Old Stone Dock Association has 16:14 really worked to preserve that heritage 16:16 and 16:17 that type of history the other place 16:19 where you'll find a reference 16:21 to it is is on the there's a big 18 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 16:24 uh boulder with a Hunt_Village_Sts_179 16:27 with a plaque on it and with an anchor 16:29 atop it right at the end of Mill Road 16:31 right where Mill Road turns on to Locust 16:34 and if you take a look at that you'll 16:35 see that that was a monument dedicated 16:37 to the seafarers 16:39 uh of in 1908 and it was really 16:44 the end of the Old Stone Dock that was 16:46 their farewell 16:47 uh to what had been such an active 16:49 center of commerce and the seafarers who 16:52 who made it such uh but in 1908 16:55 the the uh the harbor had been 16:59 dredged the Inner Harbor was now taking 17:01 over 17:02 and over time people started bringing 17:04 their boats into the Inner Harbor 17:06 and the Old Stone Dock became the Old 17:09 Stone Dock 17:12 and was there a window 17:15 a windmill and an attempt 17:19 to manufacture was it 17:23 a product glass no well yeah 17:26 a couple of things going on right down 17:28 there on the beach the windmill was up 19 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 17:30 on Mill Road and if you were to drive go 17:32 up Mill Road from the beach uh 17:36 just as the road bends and it bends 17:38 right at the end of the salt pond 17:40 that's where the windmill was located 17:42 that windmill was actually 17:45 made to to grind uh corn 17:49 it wasn't it wasn't part of the glass 17:51 tree but i'll bring that up in a sec 17:54 that was that was that was a grinding 17:56 mill and I know that because Bill Swift 17:59 told me and if anybody knows anything 18:00 about the town of Falmouth it's Bill 18:02 Swift 18:03 and he used to live right down there so 18:05 that's where that's where the windmill 18:06 was 18:07 now there were many windmills along the 18:10 shoreline uh of 18:14 Surf Drive Beach the point of 18:17 them was to to bring in salt water they 18:20 would go out into the 18:21 into the Sound and suck up the water 18:23 bring it up and put into great big vats 18:26 typically about 10 feet by 10 feet and 20 #williamswift Gunning_Village_Bldg_0439 through 0450 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 18:28 it put water in it probably about 18 18:30 inches deep 18:32 and it would they would leave it out in 18:34 the sun 18:35 to evaporate and what you'd end up with 18:38 after 18:38 after all that water had been brought up 18:40 and left in these vats for 18:42 for some period of time it would 18:44 evaporate and you'd have salt 18:46 up until the Civil War salt was a 18:48 prime 18:49 a premium product in fact many 18:53 Civil War battles were fought 18:56 at the shoreline to destroy what was 18:58 called the salt works 19:00 and the salt works was the windmill and 19:02 the vats that dried the water 19:05 and they would just they would try to 19:06 destroy that because 19:08 salt was used to preserve meats and 19:11 anything that was perishable would be 19:13 encased in salt uh prior to the period 19:16 of refrigeration 19:19 the glass company uh was because of the 19:22 sand #americancivilwar 21 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 19:23 and they would use the furnaces to heat 19:25 that sand up and get the silicone 19:27 and yes that was that would have been 19:29 located at the corner of Shore Street 19:32 so it's right kind of where the parking 19:34 lot is now 19:36 where Shore Street comes down and Surf 19:38 Drive goes across 19:40 it was on that corner uh and that's 19:42 where the Beach Breeze Inn is 19:44 right now and that's sort of an area 19:47 there was a bank down there there was a 19:50 tavern 19:51 and there was this glass manufacturing 19:54 and when you think about it of course 19:56 with the uh it was a perfect place for a 19:58 tavern and 19:59 and the bank because these packet ships 20:03 are coming back from their run 20:04 and now they want to deposit the money 20:06 or they need the money for some purpose 20:09 and and having a tavern and a little 20:12 little spot for the sailors to pull into 20:13 when they get there 20:14 is was kind of refreshing 20:18 yes it's interesting that you talk about 22 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 20:21 the center of town as being right on the 20:23 shore there which is makes a lot of 20:25 sense 20:25 we we don't think of uh the center of 20:28 town as being 20:30 out there no you wouldn't and and as you 20:33 look 20:34 there's actually the first two meeting 20:36 houses if you take the time to 20:38 to go along Surf Drive and then up Mill 20:40 Road to the very end right up to where 20:42 that boulder is that I talked about the 20:44 head the plaque and the anchor 20:46 there's a cemetery off to the one side 20:49 in that cemetery of course the reason it 20:51 was the cemeteries 20:52 when they used to bury their dead 20:54 outside the church outside the meeting 20:56 house 20:57 and that was the site of two meeting 20:59 houses the first two meeting houses that 21:01 were built in Falmouth 21:03 were built in that in that cemetery area 21:06 the third meeting house is it has a 21:08 stone marker 21:09 as you turn onto Locust Street before #oldburyingground 23 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 21:12 you even get up to the green 21:14 there's a marker on the side of the road 21:16 that says this is the site of the third 21:18 meeting house uh and it's not until you 21:21 get to the green 21:23 1749 that you will find the fourth 21:26 meeting house 21:27 so yes it was it was the center of life 21:30 the houses that are extinct is still on 21:33 Elm Road there's the Hatch 21:35 foundation I guess the house is 21:38 questionable 21:39 there's a sons houses across the street 21:41 but there's a 21:42 heavy granite foundation on the left 21:45 side if you're going 21:46 up from away from the water which was 21:49 the foundation of the Hatch house and 21:50 Hatch was one of the original 21:52 proprietors 21:52 of Falmouth I have heard that at the 21:56 at that triangle with that rock and 21:58 anchor 21:59 underneath is a time capsule with 22:02 the names of 100 more than 100 sea 22:06 captains #elmroad #hatch 24 �Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth 22:07 but what you say is interesting because 22:09 I've never thought of that before as a 22:11 kind of 22:12 putting a period to period two seafarers 22:16 I think it was I think it was their 22:17 goodbye uh 22:19 and uh whether there's a time capsule 22:22 under there 22:22 or not I don't think we'll ever know and 22:24 I don't think the 22:26 DPW will let us dig it up anymore so 22:30 uh I don't know I don't know I've heard 22:33 the same thing whether it be under that 22:35 boulder or 22:36 in front of the boulder we've certainly 22:37 done lots of plantings around the 22:39 boulder 22:40 no evidence of it has ever come up so 22:44 perhaps it's there I don't know 23:07 [Music] 25 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items,
