17th-Century Booze House Unearths Whale Bones

Step onto the Great Island Trail and you'll stumble upon the Samuel Smith Tavern Site, a 17th-century booze house in Wellfleet Harbor. This watering hole was run by a rich island owner named Smith, but don't be fooled – this wasn't your average pub. Excavations reveal that this booze house had a peculiar palate for whale vertebrae. That's right, this pub processed whale bones, making it a hub for whale-related activities. So, next time you're parched, remember, you're just quenching your thirst. This booze house was hunger personified.
