About Cape Cod

Cape Cod is a peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean from the southeastern corner of Massachusetts, in the northeastern United States. Its historic, maritime character and ample beaches attract heavy tourism during the summer months. The name Cape Cod, coined in 1602 by Bartholomew Gosnold, is the ninth-oldest English place-name in the U.S.

Other times Cape Cod came up

  1. I think the further away you can get from them in those days, the better. The middle of the sea is better than anywhere else. Interesting. Because were any of the babies born on the New Continent or were they all born on board? There was one that was born when the ship was anchored, I think, in Cape Cod. They called him like the first baby in North America, ignoring him. Thousands and thousands of years. Waiting for them on shore.
