Letter from the editor
“(Daniel) Webster was known as the ‘Farmer of Marshfield’ raising cattle and planting extensive arboretums with trees from all over the world.”
The History of the South Shore Massachusetts
I
t is unclear in history where or when the term The South Shore became the reference to the coastal communities along Massachusetts Bay from Boston to the Cape Cod Canal. Some say Statesman Daniel Webster who in 1832 purchased a 150-acre farm in Marshfield first used the term on the senate floor in State House while debating the importance of protecting coastal lands south of Boston. He often referred to both the South Shore and to the Farm Coast (Which is now called The South Coast) as regions that needed to be protected for farming and trade. Webster was known Scituate Harbor as the “Farmer of Marshfield” raising cattle and planting extensive arboretums with trees from all over the world. He taught locals to use fish and seaweed as natural fertilizers in their fields. When Webster died in 1852 he was the Secretary of State, an office he held under three U.S. Presidents. He was best known as a defender of the Constitution with over 150 cases presented to the Supreme Court. Over 33 Million Americans trace their heritage back to the small island of Ireland, which is amazing considering Ireland has a present population of just under 5 million today. Irish immigrants fled their homeland in the 1800s because of starvation from a potato famine and oppression from English landowners; most all of Ireland’s farmers were tenant farmers and were not allowed land ownership. Irish immigrants flooded to
Boston with the hope of a new life in the New World. They settled in Boston’s East End and South End. Their oppression in America was in some ways worse than the homeland as the Irish were looked down upon and not accepted socially or religiously in the New World. By 1880 the Irish and their nativeborn children represented nearly one-third of Boston’s population. In the late 1800s, with banks refusing to lend money to the Irish to buy homes in the city, Irish families began moving to the South Shore where opportunity and land ownership were plentiful. What began in Braintree quickly spread to Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury. Soon after the region was referred to as the “Irish Riviera”. Scituate is the most “Irish Town in America” where nearly 50% of its residents have Irish Heritage. Sixteen Communities in the South Shore have the highest percentage of people of Irish descent in the United States. The state of Massachusetts’s Irish population accounts for nearly 25% of its 6.8 million residents. • All the Best,

You can also choose from a variety of different BBQ sauces to dip your sandwich and fries in! And you cannot visit a waterfront restaurant without some thirst-quenching cocktails. My favorites from the menu include the Ghost Malone, Plymouth Rock and Marina Madness. If you are a spicy paloma lover, you will love the Ghost Malone, mixed with Ghost tequila, fever-tree sparkling pink grapefruit, and lime. For gin lovers, look no further than the Plymouth Rock, which is also such a fun play on the location of the restaurant!

Spectacular Coastal Living Along Massachusetts South Shore
INCE THE MAYFLOWER dropped anchor in Plymouth Harbor in 1620, people have made their homes in this coastal region stretching from Boston south to the start of Cape Cod, often referred to as “The Land of Pilgrims and Presidents”. The South Shore is an inviting region that encompasses distinctive towns, beautiful beaches, scenic harbors and bays, historic homes, and fascinating museums. The peaceful communities that punctuate the area have long attracted those who enjoy the sound of sea gulls in the early morning or the feeling of saltwater mist and ocean breezes. The South Shore is a haven for anyone who appreciates the picturesque charm and distinctive beauty of quintessential “New England.” At the turn of the century, expansive summer vacation homes were built from Quincy to Plymouth on Massachusetts Bay along Boston’s South Shore. Train service to the South Shore from South Station in Boston and the invention of the automobile provided convenient access to these oceanfront summer communities.

INSIDE coastal style weekend getaways - south shore massachusetts BY PAUL MIGNOSA
When it comes to coastal style,
there is no other brand that comes to mind than Vineyard Vines. Their logo, the pink smiling whale is just as famous as the apparel. When you wear VV you know you are wearing the best fabrics that are made with love and care. As summer comes to an end, its time to trade in the polos for ¼ zips.
SEA ISLAND COTTON SWEATER POLO - $178.00
Every year, there are approximately 100 million bales of cotton produced globally. Of those 100 million bales, about 150 are Sea Island Cotton—arguably the softest, rarest and most comfortable cotton in the world. That’s why this polo, made from 100% Sea Island Cotton, may just be the best polo you’ll ever wear.
44 COASTALHOMELIFE .CO M
LIGHT WASH JEANS - $178.00 It’s been a minute since we’ve made denim for guys. What have we been doing all that time? Working hard to make the best damn pair of jeans we could. We went to Italy, where we found this crazy soft and durable (and sustainably sourced) fabric at the famed Candiani Denim mill in Milan. The result is nothing but fine craftsmanship and tried-and-true New England style. And maybe (probably) your new favorite jeans.
ON-THE-GO-PANTS - $125.00 Shep and Ian were sitting around one day and Ian was wearing performance pants. Shep started chirping Ian, telling him that he looked like he was about to slide out of his chair and he could hear him swishing around from a mile away. Ian shot back, barking at Shep that he was wearing the same khaki pants he wore to his eighth grade graduation. They decided to solve the problem— make a pair of pants that looked and felt like old favorites, but were packed with performance. The On-The-Go Pants were born.

BRADLEY SANKATY POLO - $89.50
This polo was named for one of our favorite places on earth—the Sankaty Head Golf Club and Sankaty Lighthouse on the eastern end of Nantucket. This is hands down one of the softest performance polos on the market with some great features and benefits. Pair it with a pair of Performance Breaker Shorts and head out for a paddle board ride or tuck it in with pants and you’re ready for dinner at the Yacht Club.

We want to make this easy, so we’ve refined our fit—we slightly shortened the body so our shirts can be worn tucked or untucked, tightened the sleeves for a cleaner look and trimmed the fit in the chest. Also, we refreshed our fabric with new brrr° nylon, which has three unique cooling effects—cooling minerals, active wicking and rapid drying—that combine to immediately and continually reduce the temperature of your skin.

shipping industry to tourism. Even today nearly half the residents of this small coastal town are seasonal.
early two decades ago in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, a dream to create a member-owned golf course community began to materialize with a master plan for an all-inclusive, amenity-rich facility for living and enjoying life to its fullest. That dream has not only come to fruition but today, The Bay Club has established itself as one of the finest golf and recreation member-owned communities in New England. The Bay Club is one of only two Silver Sanctuary Golf Communities certified by Audubon International in Massachusetts and prides itself in its practices of stewardship to the land.
The Bay Club master-planned community encompasses 625 acres (with 300 acres of adjacent conservation land). The Country Club and golf course occupy 200 acres, while the six residential villages of 180+ home-sites and 200 acres of deed-restricted open space provide a perfect balance for living. Its magnificent championship golf, designed by Brad Faxon and Bradley Booth, outstanding sports and fitness complex, unparalleled fine dining, and exceptional location on the Massachusetts’ South Coast have made it a top choice for living.
In the quiet historic seaside town of Mattapoisett along the shores of Buzzards Bay not much has changed in the last 100 years. Historically, Mattapoisett was one of many coastal farming communities and its deep-water harbor supported shipbuilding with Bostonians maintaining summer residences along its waterfront. In the late 1800s, author Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. and his son Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. were summer visitors when the town was shifting from the
Dave Andrews, the Bay Club’s Director of Real Estate Sales and Membership has been there since the project started. Dave said,” The vision from the outset was to create something very special. As a cluster subdivision, the objective was to combine open space and privacy with outstanding country club amenities and each of the six residential villages was planned with this in mind. “Over the last year we have seen the largest surge in both interest and development at the property with 20 new homes under construction and 11 going through planning and

permitting. Single and family golf membership have also increased significantly with more families becoming part of the Bay Club Community.” The Bay Club is defined by its members, cared for by top professionals, and is welcoming and interesting whatever your stage of life. Within the community, 94 percent of the 625 acres is “green” with hundreds of acres of open space that allows residents and golfers to enjoy the natural beauty of The Bay Club’s setting. Unique custom designed homes are individually constructed using sustainable resource management practices for long-term stewardship of the property, assuring optimum living for current residents and future homeowners as well. Greg Yeomans, the Club’s General Manager and Director of Golf commented, “Our goal from the beginning was to create a community for our residents and members to enjoy life and golf. This year more than any other we have added new levels of safety, security, smart practices to our facility for both golf members and homeowners at

Activities include trips to the symphony as well as local and regional musical and theatrical events. Members also enjoy shopping excursions, sporting events and summer camp for children. The Bay Club by all measures is a community for living, offering a diverse eclectic variety and choices for individuals and families to enjoy the opportunity of a life well-lived and the celebrations and moments from which memories are made. • For A Private Tour of the Bay Club call Dave Andrews at 508-207-9232 or dandrews@bayclubmatt.com
