A Memorial Observance of Bunker Hill Day is the name of the document from the Worcester Magazine in May of 1915. This article gives an account of many business men that took a cruise on Bunker Hill Day to Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod Canal and were greeted with a celebration. Along with the description of that day there are many phenomenal images that really capture what went on that day. Words to describe the images are vivid and eye catching because the times were so different back then. The images also give a good look at what the city of Worcester was like back in 1915. Also there a several pictures of people on the cruise and those pictures gave me a feel as if I was on board with the people. The cruise itself seemed to have a party feel to it. A better way to describe the atmosphere on the boat would be happiness because the author of the article described the boat ride similar to that. Upon arriving to New Bedford everyone on the ship received an envelope containing everything that they need on that day. For example they received railroad tickets, dinner tickets and a map. Not only were business men aboard but at the time, a congressmen and a mayor were also a part of the party and cruise. All of the passengers on the cruise got the privilege of meeting the man who built the Cape Cod Canal. Finally, after reading the article and writing this metadata I am left with one question. Does the city of Worcester still take part on this trip on Bunker Hill Day?
