The less fortunate

Poorhouses in Victorian England were government-run facilities where the poor, infirm, or mentally ill could live. They were usually filthy and full to the brim with society’s unwanted people. At the time, poverty was seen as dishonorable, as it came from a lack of the moral virtue of industriousness. Many of the people who lived in the poorhouses were required to work to contribute to the cost of their board and it was not uncommon for whole families to live together with other families in the communal environment. 28

Boo-hoo

Victorians took mourning seriously. Women often wore mourning rings which were usually made from onyx or jet and featured hair from the deceased person. Some would even bottle their mourning tears. Often, women were hired to stand at a bachelor’s grave site to cry inconsolably so that he seemed adored. When someone passed the family would often have a photograph taken of the body. Sometimes the family would even pose with the body to make it look alive. 34

One regular crime committed in the Victorian era was the abduction of children for their clothes. Well-dressed youth would be captured, stripped, and left running home in their underwear. This was one of the reasons chaperones were often employed.

UNDERGROUND RAILROAD TROLLEY TOUR

MAC

Saturday, April 29: 2:15pm New in 2017! Climb aboard Cape May’s newest trolley tour to hear tales of the Underground Railroad in Cape May. Hear how, fleeing their chains in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, African American slaves braved strong currents and stormy seas, guided by the beacon at the Cape May Lighthouse. Hear how legendary anti-slavery fighter, Harriet Tubman, walked these streets, as did businessman and former slave, Stephen Smith, whose railroad cars carried hundreds to freedom. Includes a tour of the Owen Coachman House, a meticulously restored free Black’s home from the mid-19th century. Board the trolley at the Washington Street Mall Information Booth at Ocean Street for this 2-hour tour.

Hypnotism, divination and spiritualism were huge. Victorians would attend many events where they could get their future read, speak to the deceased or be hypnotized. This was a big money industry in this Era, which was usually filled with greatly paid actors. Freak shows were also big in the Victorian Era. Going to a freakshow for them was just as normal and accessible as us going to the movies.

The Victorians ate virtually every part of an animal. This is not entirely creepy if you are a food fanatic but for most people, the idea of supping on a bowl of brains and heart is not appealing. Another famous dish from the Victorian era was turtle soup. The turtle was prized above all for its green jelly-like fat which was used to flavor the soup made from the long-boiled stringy flesh of the animal. 40

Bucket brigade

The Cape May Lighthouse was originally staffed by keepers who worked for the U.S. Lighthouse Service. Cape May’s lighthouse generally had one head keeper and two assistants. They carried oil to the top of the tower every day to power the light, and kept the lens apparatus clean and in working order. Keepers’ pay averaged $600 a year around the turn of the 20th century.

Dark tales

The Victorian period gave us such great works of terror as Dracula, and the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Even the Americans got in on the act with Edgar Allen Poe producing some of the greatest Gothic literature of the time. The Victorians knew how to frighten people and they knew how to do it in grand style. These works still form the basis of much modern horror and their power to thrill has not dwindled in the least. 48

During the summer of 1893, the Cape May Wave reported that night time bathing was becoming quite the rage. People felt that bathing at night exceeded the benefits of daytime bathing, without its burning sun and sand. Even bath house operators were revising their hours of operation to accommodate their evening customers. 56

Snack time

Tuesday, May 23

It was the Victorians who first invented afternoon tea. This was because the evening meal was eaten later than in previous periods and people found they needed a light meal in the late afternoon. The evening meal was eaten around 8 or even 9 p.m.

Hitting the gym

Like today, many a Victorian man or woman thought working out and trying to get the perfect body would make life lovely. Victorians were often obsessive about health, fitness and beauty — the ones who could afford to spend many hours bodybuilding did so. This would also include many new dietary fads and exercise routines that would come and go just as they do these days. The idea was to eventually achieve the “Grecian ideal,” the perfect physique.

Angel of the Sea GUIDED TOUR 5 TRENTON AVE. Take a 30-minute guided tour of one of Cape May’s most charming historic B&Bs and hear how this elegant property, built in the 1850s, became one of Cape May’s “mobile homes.” See its lovely interior rooms and enjoy light refreshments after your tour.

Tuesday-Thursday: 12:15pm Admission $8 Order tickets onlin www.capemaymace at Purchase tickets online or at the Washington .org Street Mall Information Booth at Ocean Street For more information, call 609-884-5404 or 800-275-4278 Sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC)

Stay healthy

In a time when one in four patients died after surgery, you were very lucky in Victorian times to have a good doctor with a clean operating theatre. There was no anesthesia, no painkillers for after, and no electric equipment to reduce the duration of an operation. Victorian surgery wasn’t just creepy, it was outright horrific. 72
