Don Wilding: Shipwrecks of Cape Cod

  • Wellfleet Library 55 W Main St Wellfleet, MA 02667 USA (map)

Don Wilding will be speaking about the Shipwrecks of Cape Cod, the area of the back shore known as “the graveyard of ships”. The Wellfleet Library is an excellent, informal venue, bring your questions and wear a mask.

Don is the author of three books on Cape Cod history: “Henry Beston’s Cape Cod: How ‘The Outermost House’ Inspired a National Seashore,” "A Brief History of Eastham: On the Outer Beach of Cape Cod," and "Shipwrecks of Cape Cod: Stories of Triumph & Tragedy." His fourth book, "Cape Cod and the Great Gale of 1898," is scheduled to be published in Spring 2023.

Don has also been an instructor of Cape Cod history courses for the Open University of Wellfleet and Nauset Community Education.
