Join us Thursday, October 9 at 4:00 pm to explore the history and legends of  Provincetown's Helltown and its courageous dorymen. Helltown, a cobbled-together winter shantytown of Portuguese dorymen’s huts at Herring Cove in the late 1800s, was a far cry from the tidy fishing village founded on Long Point in 1818. The fishermen of Helltown arose before sunrise to trek miles of frozen trails to Herring Cove, through nor’easters and gales, to fish for cod and haddock.Â
