A handsome blue-hulled sloop motors through the calm waters of Falmouth Harbor on a hazy summer afternoon, her tall mast cutting the pale sky as crew members busy themselves on deck — with the pink stucco facade of the Tides Motel and the Yacht Club docks stretching behind her in a scene that perfectly encapsulates the leisured optimism of postwar Cape Cod. Vintage automobiles visible in the background lot and the mid-century modern architecture of the motel pin this image firmly in the late 1950s, just before the harbor's character would shift under the pressures of growing tourism. Distributed through the "Gift-O-Rama" souvenir outlet by Souvenir Corp. of America, Brookline Village, and produced by Colourpicture's Plasticchrome process, this card was likely purchased by vacationers with names like Bob or Shirley tucking it into a beach bag alongside a paperback novel.
