That cove is one of the first places Europeans touched the new world. Because the island has fresh water and extends far out to sea with a narrow neck that can be defended against shore attack, it was used as a fishing port and cod drying station years or decades before what we think of as "our" history began.
You probably could have found several Portuguese fishing vessels in there in the mid 1400’s. Their reports were instrumental in Columbus being sure he would run into something if he headed west.
Lots of ghosts on those shores.
Yup, the place is haunted, no question. Creeps me out big time. We went in a couple times on our Pearson 26 some 15 + years ago. Never again. Not only are the ghosts creepy -- they mess with anchor setting and make sure that there's a big pile of kept precisely where you try to drop your hook!
It's certainly a pretty place, but there are plenty of other places on the coast of Maine that are just as pretty but better, as they are devoid of ghosts.
To each his own. Thanks, MS... I'll have to check the vid from home seeing as how YouTube is firewalled at work!
