Provincetown is home to one of the world’s natural deep-water harbors, located forty miles out to sea at the tip of Cape Cod. It is a haven for boats of all sorts, large and deep enough to accommodate cruise ships. Provincetown has long been a seaside town, but it is the harbor that has defined its US history (Pilgrims First Landing – 1620), Portuguese fishing legacy, and status as a world-class tourist destination. Today, thousands of whale watchers travel from Provincetown each year to view these now endangered species in their natural habitat. Whales played a vital role in Provincetown’s economy in the 19th century, and this tradition continues.
