Hill and watch 
the idly flap- 
ping sails of 
the hundreds 
of pleasure 
craft with 
which’ Marble- 
head harbor a- 
bounds a roar- 
ing, crackling 
sound that :s 
not unlike the 
rattle. of ia 
machine gun 
Preers, your 
ears... Then 
there skips across the water. before your vision a giant 
dragon fly, which rapidly mounts to the air as it soars 
out over the bay. Higher and higher it goes until its 
noisesome buzzing sounds no louder than a Jersey mos- 
quito—for there are no North Shore mosquitoes, hence- 
forth. You have witnessed the flight of one of the mighty 
seaplanes built at Marblehead by the Burgess Co. for the 
use of the United States army. 
Yachting at Marblehead will take second place this 
season to the activities of the coast patrol of the Naval 
Reserve, but it will in all likelihood be a much more in- 
teresting spectacle for the summer residents of the old 
town. The Eastern Yacht club has been taken over by 
the U. S. navy as the headquarters for the patrol fleet of 
submarine chasers and today presents a far different 
scene than in former summers. Many prominent North 
Shore residents have proferred their pleasure craft to the 
government as submarine chasers. 
The New Salem 
Irom Marblehead over a tolerable road the way of 
the tourist leads to Salem town. Salem, older than Bos- 
ton, richest of the rich New England towns in its historic 
possessions, is today a city almost unknown to those who 
knew it so well before 1914. When the holocaust of that 
summer swept the aged city almost one-half of it was 
wiped from the map. Today Salem has shaken itself 
free from the ashes of the famous fire, of hampering 
traditions as 
well, and is on 
its way to a 
leading place 
among New 
Encland cities. 
Fortunately, 
for a city so 
rich in relies 
of historic 
value, the big 
fire spared 
practically all 
of the land- 
marks and 
tre as Ve 
houses of relics 
dear to the antiquary. Consequently the visitor is en- 
abled to browse about at will among the rare old antiques 
for which Salem is noted. Today less emphasis is placed 
upon that grewsome bit of Salem history, the witchcraft 
persecutions, although the curious tourist will be shown

In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries 
Salem flourished as a commercial center. Salem ships 
sailed every 
6.6 53 aia 
brought home 
the wealth of 
all lands to en- 
rich the mer- 
chants of the 
then leading 
New England 
seaport. Inci- 
cent"... to athe 
properous era 
of Salem’s his- 
tory was the 
development of 
a distinctive 
style of resi- 
dential architecture. The rare old Salem doorways are, in 
particular, an element of interest to the visitor. Salem’s 
old colonial mansions, the historic Witch House, the 
traditionary House of Seven Gables, the old Custom 
House, Hawthorne’s birthplace, the Essex Institute and 
Fast India Marine hall, all have their attraction for the 
visitor froin afar. 
The Garden City 
Beverly, characterized by the late Governor Green- 
halge as “The Garden City of the North Shore,” lies 
across the river from Salem and was a part of the early 
settlement of Salem. It covers a large expanse of ter- 
ritory and includes many of the show pk ices of the North 
Shore. Although its limits extend to Manchester, it is 
the city proper which is commonly spoken of as Beverly. 
It is a thriving little city, the chief industry of which is 
the United Shoe Machinery plant. Shoe manufacturing 
is also engaged in. The port of Beverly is used as a 
receiving depot for petroleum products and coal and is 
a distributing center for the North Shore. 
From Beverly toward Cape Ann is the real heart of 
the famous North Shore Here society summers and 
here are located those magnificent summer homes for 
which this section is famous. Beverly Cove, Pride’s 
Crossing and Beverly Farms through which the wonder- 
ful shore road winds are a veritable man-made Eden. 
Nature in herself is wonderful on the North Shore, but 
the skilled 
hands of men 
have added 
here and there 
a touch which 
has rendered 
this wonder- 
land even more 
den among the 
beautiful. Hid-

trees of ex- 
pansive wood-

the rockbound cheat with views of Salem and Marblehead 
harbors, one will find the huge colonial type houses in which 
the shore abounds. A list of the owners of the estates 
in a short few miles will include the names of leaders in
