Cape Cod Voyage
A Journey Through Cape Cod’s History and Lore
by Jack Sheedy and Jim Coogan
As a follow on to their popular Cape Cod Companion, authors Jack Sheedy and Jim Coogan have added over 100 new stories of pilgrims and pirates, sea captains and shipwrecks, and bits and pieces of forgotten Cape lore. The book, which carries many photographs, features tales of early explorers, lighthouses, and inventors, and continues the course of Cape Cod history through the great age of sail in the nineteenth century, right into the twentieth century and the surge of modern tourism that began with the grand hotels. Cape Cod Voyage is a journey through Cape Cod’s past–the interesting and the strange, the historic and the legendary, and some tales that are a little bit of all of the above.

Sail Away Ladies
Cape Cod Women in the Age of Sail
by Jim Coogan
Sail Away Ladies is the winner of the United States Maritime Literature Award for 2004
During the great age of sail, hundreds of women accompanied their seafaring husbands on voyages that took them around the globe. In their journeys, they faced storms, pirates, shipwrecks, seasickness, and loneliness so far from home, family, and friends. Yet they also met with great adventure. Based on the journals and letters of these remarkable ladies, Sail Away Ladies presents the experiences of twelve Cape Cod women who braved the oceans and who shared their adventures with the people they left behind at home. Theirs is a proud and often overlooked chapter in Cape Cod’s seafaring history.
