Talk:Cuttyhunk Island

America --> North America
Is it true to say that for Gosnold, the New World was "North America"? Didn't the New World include both North and South America?

The RussBot changed the link to "America" in the History section to link to "North America". While this gets rid of ambiguity, is it accurate? CrimsonLine 01:31, July 12, 2005 (UTC)


 * I've changed the link from North America to The Americas. I believe that is what is intended by the text. Although the English expeditions were going specifically to North America (America Sepentrionalis on old maps), the phrase is talking about the "New World" in general, which is what the Americas article is about. There is also the New World article, which is a possible link. Mike Dillon 15:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

How many year-round residents?
User "Cuttyhunk" just added a sentence stating that only 33 people live on Cuttyhunk year-round. The sentence now follows a statement that there are 86 year-round residents. Perhaps one or the other statement is true, but certainly both cannot be true, and left to stand as is. CrimsonLine 15:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

What on earth is "Bullet Ice"?

Sow and Pigs Reef
The link to Sow and Pigs reef describes a reef in Australia, not off Cuttyhunk. Perhaps there are two reefs with that name?? Olschner (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

There are two "islands within an island" as they are called, and one is on the west side of the island in the oyster Pond, where the Gosnold monument is located. There is another near the main harbor called "Joe's Island". It is unknown why it was named that as nobody lives there, and it is protected for wildlife conservancy, so no one is allowed on it. It is thought that Joe's Island is the island Bartholomew Gosnold and his men made their encampent on, as a journal from one of those men states that they were camped on "an island within an island".Elizabethlitton (talk) 17:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

"rocks elsewhere found only in the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire"
This assertion isn't sourced and thus its accuracy is highly uncertain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.8.218.251 (talk) 23:09, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
