Provincetown Harbor, near the extremity of Cape Cod, is of great importance, as a harbor of refuge, to the Commerce of Massachusetts. It is nearly land-locked by dunes of sand, and it has a shallow branch, about three miles in length, called East Harbor, into which the sand from the dunes and outer b0each was blown by the wind and carried by the ebb tide into Provincetown Harbor, shoaling it on the easterly side. To prevent this, the State of Massachusetts, in 1868 and 1869, built a dike across the channel connecting the two harbors.
