Highlands, Coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Author was a long-time Marine Reporting Agent based at Highland Light. Here he describes seven shipwrecks he witnessed: the Josephus (1849), The Clara Bell (1872), The Peruvian and Bark Francis (1873), The Giovanni (1875), the Jason (1893), and the Portland (1898). The plate is of the Jason, and there is an outline map showing the location of the Portland's demise.
