Chatham

Visited Htham, an attractive town on the edge of the National Seashore. Went for woodland walk near the town and on to the Chathamlighthouse, overlooking the Chatham Bars:  sandbanks dangerous to shipping in bad weather.

Provincetown on the National Seashore

Started the day with a swim in the sea behind 'The Mooring'. Sarah and I drove to Provincetown, near the end of the Lower Cape. Climbed the tower completed in 1920 to mark the first landing of the Pilgrim Faters in 1620.

Went on to visit the site of the Marconi Wireless Telegraphy station. The first Wireless message sent across the Atlantic, was a message from President  Theodore Roosevelt here nd King Edward V11 at Poldhu in Cornwall. We went next to the National Seashore Visitor Centre.
