    1 ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY GC 3 1833 06500 4894 974.402 N15GA WRECKS AROUND NANTUCKET Compiled by ARTHUR H. GARDNER 1915 With Additional Records to 1954 I WRECKS AROUND NANTUCKET Since the settlement of the island, and the incidents connected therewith, embracing over seven hundred vessels. Compiled by ARTHUR H. GARDNER. Reynolds Printing, Inc., New Bedford, Mass. Copyright 1915 by Arthur H. Gardner. Copyright March 11, 1943 by Grace Brown Gardner Introduction to First Edition, In presenting this book to the public, it may be well to say a few words in regard to the geographical position of the island, the nature of the coast, and the vast extent of dangerous shoals contigu¬ ous and stretching seaward for many leagues, which have ever proved a terror to mariners, and upon which so many noble vessels have “wound up their logs” for all time, consigning myriads of human be¬ ings to a watery grave. The island of Nantucket is situated some thirty miles southeast of Massachusetts, is fifteen miles in length, with an average breadth of four or five, and presents a coast line of about seventy-five miles. Owing to the peculiar shape of the island, and the indentures made by the harbor, the coast line, especially on the northern side, is exceedingly irregular. A light sandy beach extends around the island, and with the exception of a small reef in Muskeget Channel and a few isolated ones in the immediate vicinity of the shore on the north side of the island and Tuckernuck, the coast is entirely clear of rocks.

  • Section 4.0 Affected Environment
    U.S. Department of the Interior Section 4.0 MM S Minerals Management Service Description of Affected Environment 4.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 4.1 PHYSICAL RESOURCES For purposes of describing the physical resource characteristics of the proposed action area, this material is presented in the following seven subsections: geology, noise, physical oceanography, climate and meteorology, air quality, water quality, and electrical and magnetic fields. 4.1.1 Regional Geologic Setting The site of the proposed action is located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic province. The geomorphologic setting can best be described as glacially produced. The surficial expression of Cape Cod and Nantucket Sound were formed during the advance and retreat of the last continental ice sheet in the northeastern United States, part of the Laurentide glaciation, and the subsequent erosion and reworking of the glacial deposits during the Holocene (10,000 years ago to the present) sea-level rise. Figure 4.1.1-1 (see Appendix A for all Figures) presents an interpretation of the glacial processes that formed Cape Cod and Nantucket Sound. In the area of the proposed action, the maximum advance of the last continental glaciation is marked by the advance of the Cape Cod ice lobe, and the formation of terminal moraines on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, estimated at approximately 20,000 years ago. During this advance, it is thought that subglacial tunnel valleys carrying meltwater and sediment, extended south from Cape Cod to the ice margin near Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and eroded into the underlying fine grain sediments (Uchupi, E.
