The tragedy of Monomoy Beach

For God And Country

Reading edition

The story of The Monomoy Disaster must impress all readers with the sturdy character of the men who went down to the sea in ships in former days, when Cape Cod was a haven of sea Captains and rugged men of the sea.

As we dedicate this book to these men of steel we present as a closing tribute, the defenders of American freedom and liberty of the present day. The following men and women of Chatham and Harwich are now serving the colors in the various branches of the armed forces and the Honor Roll is complete as of August 1, 1943. We salute each and every one and may God grant them a safe return.
