The Judah Baker gristmill (center) and a salt mill (left) stood near the coast of South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, in 1866 at the height of a boom in "dry-land sailing." The wind powered nearly 1,300 salt- and gristmills along the shores of Cape Cod in the 19th century. The Baker gristmill has since been moved inland and serves as a tourist attraction.
