Seeking life on Mars

Buttoned up as they were, Victorians believed that there was life on Mars. Giovanni Schiaparelli, an Italian astronomer, claimed that he had seen artificial waterways on Mars through his telescope. Apparently, these canals were evidence that extraterrestrial beings on the red planet were attempting either travel or commerce. These ideas were generally quite popular and taken seriously by the public, and surprisingly, people would leave money in their wills dedicated to attempts to make contract with extraterrestrial life.

Tour co-sponsored by the Harriet Tubman Museum of New Jersey, Cape May MAC and Center for Community Arts (CCA)

HARRIET TUBMAN’S LIFE & WORK IN CAPE MAY Harriet Tubman lived in Cape May in the early 1850s, working to help fund her missions to guide enslaved people to freedom. After her initial journeys conducting freedom seekers to Canada, she returned to the states and earned money working in hotels and for private families as a cook. From Cape May, in the fall of 1852, she went back once more to Maryland, and brought away nine more fugitives. The New Jersey Historical Commission says she spent two other summers in Cape May. Cape May played a pivotal role in the fight to end slavery. Several historic figures critical to the fight against slavery spent their summers in Cape May. The Harriet Tubman Museum building is located on a block that anti-slavery activists called home in Cape May. Lafayette Street and Franklin Street became a center of abolitionist activity centered around three important buildings developed in 1846. 38

UNDERGROUND RAILROAD TROLLEY TOUR Thursdays: 9:30am

Climb aboard our trolley to learn about Cape May’s connection to the Underground Railroad. Hear how enslaved people in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia braved strong currents and stormy seas to free themselves, guided by the beacon of the Cape May Lighthouse. Hear why the legendary Harriet Tubman walked these streets before her freedom runs to the Eastern Shore. See the summer refuge of the formerly enslaved Stephen Smith, one of America’s wealthiest businessmen whose railroad cars ferried hundreds to freedom. Board the trolley at the Washington Street Mall information booth at Ocean Street for this 1.5-hour tour.

The year is 1927, and as the champagne flows and the jazz plays, a shot splits the night — but who fired the shot? If you yearn to step back in time to when guys and dolls danced the night away in hidden speakeasies, then join this Cape May walking tour with a murderous twist. Enter a world of gun molls and gangsters, flappers and fellas, jazz bands and gin joints. Stroll the center of Cape May’s Historic District led by your guide, who just happens to be the victim of a 100-year-old murder! Inspect the crime scene, gather clues, and question suspects along the way. Perhaps, just perhaps, you can stay one step ahead of a wily murderer, avoid a similar fate and have a chance to solve this murder in the jazz age.

AN INTERACTIVE MURDER MYSTERY! Mondays & Wednesdays, starting June 27: 7pm On the outdoor stage at the Physick Estate 1248 Washington St.

Murder is afoot, and it is up to you to not only find out whodunnit, but also choose who the victim is! In this interactive murder mystery, your vote determines all of the elements of the crime…leaving the actors to improvise around your choices. Every scene produces more choices for the audience...who will the detective question next? The victim’s wife, or his therapist? Was the motive jealousy or a soured business deal? You build the case while the actors try to solve it. With 10,000 different possibilities, the same show will never be performed twice! This hilarious, fast paced romp turns improvisational theater on its ear by putting the audience completely in the driver seat, asking the question: Whose Crime Is It, Anyway?

Cape May MAC’s

LESSONS OF HISTORY 10th Annual Distinguished Lecture Series Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022: 5PM

Cape May Convention Hall, 714 Beach Ave.

IS WAR WITH CHINA INEVITABLE? Presented by Dr. Steven David Dr. Steven David, Ph.D., professor at Johns Hopkins, an authority on international relations and three-time winner of the university’s “Outstanding Teacher Award,” presents “Is War with China Inevitable?” in this year’s annual Distinguished Lecture Series. David will speak on the critical issue of whether the rise of China makes a Sino-American war inevitable. Many scholars have argued that war is virtually certain when a rising power confronts the existing world leader. David’s lecture will examine both sides of this debate, and offer his own views as to who is right. He looks forward to a spirited discussion with the audience on what might be the most important issue confronting America and the world in the 21st century.

CAPE MAY’S

Stormy Past Every year, multiple nor’easters approach the Cape May area. While some have caused havoc and extensive damage, most have done little more than bring rougher than normal seas and extra precipitation. Virtually every time Cape May receives more than a few inches of snow, it’s caused by a nor’easter. Cape May has seen thousands of nor’easters over the years, but if you bring up the subject with residents and longtime visitors, there’s one particular storm that stands out among the rest. While it was never officially named,

it’s been called the “Five High Storm,” the “Great March Storm of 1962,” and it’s most commonly known as the “Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962.” Nor’easters are classified by an intensity range similar to the one used for hurricanes, known as the Dolan-Davis scale. The 1962 nor’easter was a Category 5. As you will soon see, the storm earned every bit of its dreadful reputation. Few storms are remembered by Cape May residents as vividly as the one that began on Ash Wednesday, March 5th, 1962. What had been predicted as

People searched through everything that was deposited on Beach Avenue in the wake of the 1962 nor’easter, looking for anything of value. State Troopers were called in during the storm after many of the local hotels and motels were hit by looting. -- Photo courtesy Reverend C. Wilbert Sterner

a minor nor’easter that would have little impact proved to be the exact opposite. Instead, Cape May was hammered for three straight days, with severe flooding and thunderous winds, accompanied by both snow and rain. The storm unexpectedly stalled over the Cape May area, lasting for a total of five high tides before it moved from the region. Making the situation even worse was the fact that it occurred around the time of the Spring Equinox, when the tides were already at their highest. The beachfront was torn apart, with buildings turned to rubble, the boardwalk smashed apart, Beach Avenue shattered into chunks of asphalt, and the sands eroded so badly that, in many areas, subsequent high tides brought the ocean right up to the road. To compound matters, the summer season was just two and a half months away. -- Story by Ben Miller

“I remember the storm of 1962 vividly! We lived on Idaho Avenue and watched the ocean waves come up Philadelphia Avenue. The water stopped at the beginning of our backyard. That went on for three days each time the tide came in! At the end of the storm, we walked down to Beach Drive. It was unbelievable how the street was lifted up and moved in large chunks. The ocean water was still below the street when we were walking on it. The beachfront houses looked like they had been hit by bombs. Splintered wood was everywhere!” -- Betty Ann Sherretta

CAPE MAY’S STORMY PAST
