In reply to Spike Speigel,,,I used to work in Whaler’s Wharf for many years before it burned down. It was one of the last places in Provincetown where people actually made the crafts they sold. Provincetown used to be full of unique handmade crafts. The new building is nothing at all like the old building. It has a couple of the original craftspeople left but is mostly mass produced gifts etc ordered from a catalog, not unique handmade one of a kind crafts. The funky fun atmosphere disappeared when the old Whaler’s Wharf burned down in 1998. Provincetown will always be beautiful, but it will never be the same…now you have to be very wealthy to live there, and all the taleneted craftspeople are slowly being pushed out by the high rents.
