Local historian Dan Sanders has made many models of Cape Cod shipwrecks and knows the stories behind all of them. Here he points to a display case containing some of the models that he has made. Both children and adults were captivated by his storytelling.
After touring the Shipwreck Room at the museum, the group gathered at the North Truro Cemetery, where a crew from a local shipwreck is buried. Showing the tombstones was a powerful way to explain the impact of the tragedy.
