Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Comprehensive History, Ecclesiastical and Civil, of Eastham, Wellfleet and Orleans, County of Barnstable, Mass: From 1644 to 1844
It is divided into two arms, one of which extends north, and has but little depth of water. A body of salt marsh, containing about two hundred acres in it, is protected from the ocean by a narrow sand beach.
The south-wasteth arm, which is called Town cove, has deeper water, but is sufficient, at high water and common tides, to admit only small vessels.
