Hit and Run History:  The Columbia Expedition

Hit and Run History: The Columbia Expedition Having arrived, we stop at Luisa's sister's house to get cleaned up, served morning alcohol, and force-fed wonderful food.

Oh, and then we went on a tour of a 500 year-old fort, and got to see an old pillory.

SOUTH YARMOUTH — When Cape Cod native John Kendrick left Boston Sept. 30, 1787, on the first American-based voyage around the world, his crew must have felt some trepidation. They were headed into still largely uncharted waters on a mission filled with unknown dangers.

Happy that you have a project to work on over the winter on Cape Cod. Thank you Cape Cod Broadcasting! It makes one not only want to follow Hit and Run History as a film project but visit Mass Historical Society and other museums on a next trip to Massachusetts.
