If you really want to see Provincetown, climb the 116 steps of the Pilgrim Monument, erected from 1907-1910 to commemorate the first landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims in Provincetown on November 21, 1620. It’s 252 feet high and 350 feet above sea level making it without question the highest spot in town.
Our ace photographer Tom Shirk, owner of the casually elegant and “beachy chic” White Porch Inn, climbed those stairs yesterday so you, dear reader, can enjoy these spectacular shots of Provincetown taken a day after Irene swept through from the comfort of your home or office.
