This wonderful 1912 "birdseye view" looks from above Boston southeast over Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay. In the upper left quarter of the image you’ll see the Hull Peninsula jutting out right to left from the mainland of Hingham and Cohasset. At the right upper edge you will see Plymouth Harbor, then the sweep of Cape Cod coming around to its end at Provincetown. The actual distance from Boston to Hull is 9-10 miles; Boston to Plymouth is 35; and from Boston to Provincetown by water is about 50 miles (120 miles by road). This was the homeland of our ancestors.
