Yacht Charter: Along the southern coast of Cape Cod
 Cape Cod Canal Extending out into the Atlantic as a peninsula, Cape Cod, is an integral part of the New England coastline, and should always be a part of a yacht charter in southern New England waters. Often referred to locally as “The Cape”, Cape Cod is technically both a peninsula and an island, as “The Cape” is separated from the mainland by the man made Cape Cod Canal built in 1914, which effectively cut “The Cape” off as an island from the mainland. The Cape Cod Canal is also a boon to yachtsmen that want to include waters south and north of Cape Cod in a crewed yacht charter itinerary in southern New England.

Newport, Rhode Island, A 17th Century Pirate’s Haven
Newport, Rhode Island, Bowens Wharf Historic Wharf
Maybe hard to believe and rarely mentioned, but while piracy was raging in the Caribbean, it was also alive and well in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of the 17th century and into the 18th century. For Newport then, was one of the premier colonial harbor towns, with a large deep water port that allowed ships to sail right up to the docks and unload, a luxury when many locations required anchoring out, with shallow draft skiffs to bring goods ashore. However, a lenient and even encouraging atmosphere was just as much a draw as a deep water active port for those that “bent the rules”, to make Newport not only their home, but also their port for refit work, and overhauls. Goods were easily swallowed into a vast void ashore and pirate captured ships were even re-named and provided new colonial Owners in the courts of Newport. In fact piracy in Newport was so prevalent at the end of the 1690’s, that notice was taken in London and censure was sent. A request was even made in London by English Trade Officials to remove the Charter for the colony of Rhode Island. Read the rest of this entry »
