    TOWN OF WATERTOWN 2015 ANNUAL REPORT The Town Seal Designed by Charles Brigham, Architect Story of the Watertown Seal On the Watertown seal is a picture of an English Colonist and an Indian exchanging, as peace tokens, bread for fish. Capt. Roger Clap, who landed at Nantusket Point in 1630, and rowed up Charles River to Gerry’s Landing with the first party of Watertown Colonists, records the following story of the trip: “We went up Charles River until the river grew narrow and shallow, and there we landed our goods with much labor and toil, the bank being steep and night coming on. “We were informed that there were hard by us three hundred Indians. One Englishman that could speak the Indian language (an old Planter) went to them and advised them not to come near us in the night; and they harkened to his counsels, and came not, I myself was one of the sentinels that first night. Our Captain was a Low Country soldier, one Mr. Southcot, a brave soldier. “In the morning some of the Indians came and stood at a distance off, looking at us, but came not near us; but when they had been a while in view, some of them came and held out a great Bass toward us; so we sent a man with a Bisket, and changed the Cake for a Bass. Afterwards, they supplied us with Bass, exchanging a Bass for a Bisket Cake, and were very friendly to us. “O dear children! Forget not what care God had over his dear servants, to watch over and protect us in our weak beginnings.
