[edit] Cranberries
A small concern, regarding the factuality of the contention that Wellfleet is known for cranberries as well as oysters; Wellfleet has only one cranberry bog, and that is almost in Eastham (to the south). The great bulk of cape cod cranberries are grown in bogs in the Mid and Upper cape (which is intuitively south of, but higher in elevation than the Lower Cape, of which Chatham, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown are a part.) Just a small point, in an otherwise accurate and informative artical, but important just the same.
As I have no published source from which to draw these facts; i know them to be true b/c I live here, i won't make any changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timbobb (talk • contribs)
[edit] Reference Issue
I have edited and added to the article to bring it in line with the rest of the articles for the state. I have attempted to remove anything which could not be referenced through either source used (the town's website and a historical profile located in the Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket Street Atlas). If you can find the references for the two major points left out (the cranberries, and the failure of the oyster harvest in the 1800s), please put them in with the references listed.
Also, for further reference on the town name issue, the website lists the oyster reference and the atlas lists the "Whale Fleet" reference. ToddC4176 23:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Call for pics
That picture of Town Hall really needs to be replaced. I get vertigo looking at it. And seeing as we're talking about Cape Cod, a beach shot would be nice. :) MarkBul 01:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wellfleet lighthouse found in California
In case the former harbor lighthouse is of interest, it went west.[1] -- SEWilco (talk) 03:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
