with<br>
</i>Author Jake Klim<br>
<i>Attack on Orleans<br>
<br>
<br>
</i></b></div>
BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster
continues its popular archaeology/history series, <i>Digging into the
Past, </i>with author Jake Klim <br>
<b>Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at 1pm.<br>
</b> <br>
On the warm morning of July 21, 1918, during the last year of the
First World War a new prototype of German submarine surfaced three miles
off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and attacked an unarmed towboat
and her four barges. A handful of the shells fired by the U-Boat’s two
deck guns struck Nauset Beach, giving the modest town of Orleans the
distinction of being the first, and only, spot in the United States to
receive fire from the enemy during the entire World War. Although upwards
of one thousand citizens watched the spectacle from shore, <i>Attack on
Orleans</i> is a story very few Americans, outside the proud town of
Orleans, have ever heard.<br>
<br>
Author Jake Klim will chronicle the first 30 minutes of the 90
minute attack and celebrate the resilience of Cape Cod at war.<br>
<br>
The presentation will be held at the Museum on Tuesday, July
14<sup>th</sup> at 1pm.<br>
