Mr. Bentley saw beached whales\, shipwrecks\, a seven-foot shark\, seals and porpoises\, lobsters and crabs. He noted ropewalks\, shipyards\, cooperages\, and fish flakes\, as well as privateers and smugglers. He was saddened by drownings and marveled at the frozen harbor. He knew all the islands—Bakers\, the Miseries\, Orne’s\, Eagle\, Cat\, Ram—and impediments to navigation—Half-Way Rock\, Kettle Bottom\, Abbott’s Rocks\, Bowditch’s Ledge. \nAbout Donald Friary \nDonald Friary is Director Emeritus of Historic Deerfield\, Inc. and past President of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.
