 Islands around Cape Cod - Cuttyhunk, Sampson's Island, Washburn, Chappaquiddick
The island's southern coast was, in fact, used to train American troops prior to the Normandy invasion.
In 1823, the federal government commissioned a lighthouse on the island's southernmost beach.
In the 1920s, Monomoy ceased to be used as a lighthouse.

 1999 Federal Register, 1529; Centralized Library: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Queen Elizabeth Islands (QE) Recent research data led the GNWT to redefine the boundaries of this population.
This population was identified as being separate from the Queen Elizabeth Islands population previously described in the Service's February 18, 1997, final rule.
Testa (1997) reported that the population boundaries are the result of extensive research with satellite and conventional telemetry and that the [[Page 1532]] reorganization of the Parry Channel-Baffin Bay and Queen Elizabeth Islands populations was conducted using procedures previously described by Bethke et al.

 Naushon Island Circumnavigation
North is occluded by the rise of the island.
We considered lunching on Pasque Island just so we could say we made it, but there were several structures at the good landing sites, and Naushon Island offers more privacy (and less chance of being kicked off).
This gives rise to some incredibly fierce currents through the openings between the Elizabeth Islands.

Their idea was to use one end of the island for the colony and the other end for a prison.
When several people in eastern Massachusetts were found to have leprosy in 1904, Massachusetts made plans to open a facility for its own leprous residents.
Like Bertha Osis, Phresa had not been in the country long enough to acquire citizenship and was deported on October 15, 1909.

But it's not what it used to be, says Lombard, whose family has been on the island for several generations.
It seems regardless of how much the island promotes itself, there will only be a small segment of people who actually come.
Cuttyhunk, the southernmost of the Elizabeth Islands and seat of government for the town of Gosnold, has been suffering economically.

 1849 Description of Dukes County
In consequence, these islands became a part of New York, but were left mostly to manage their own affairs.
"Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the Elizabeth Islands were not included in any of the New England governments.
This county is formed of the islands of Martha's Vineyard, Chappequiddick, Elizabeth Islands, and Noman's Land - the latter of which is the southern extremity of' Massachusetts.

 Tarpaulin Cove Lighthouse
Money was appropriated by the government for a formal lighthouse in 1807, but due to opposition from James Bowdoin, owner of the island at the time, land was not provided for the new lighthouse until 1817, after Bowdoin's death.
The island is privately owned, with no public access.
Directions : The light can only be viewed by boat.

 Annals of Gosnold by Dr. Charles E. Banks
In the then hazy knowledge of this region it can not be said which of the members of the Council had a definite legal claim to these islands.
A suit for trespass on the island of Naushon had been entered for the October term of the County Court at Edgartown in 1695, and the defendant, Anthony Blaney by his attorney, demurred to the competency of the court to try the case.
This group of islands was known as Nashanow to the Indians of the seventeenth century, and the following statements relative to the aboriginal ownership of some of the group establishes the priority of this name.

 The Penikese Connection
The awed inhabitants of the town of Fairhaven were now to see at first hand the ultimate misery of these afflicted people, for it was planned that they should embark from Fairhaven wharves.
In July of that year, the state of Massachusetts purchased the island of Penikese in Buzzards Bay with the purpose of establishing there a leprosarium - or a colony for Massachusetts people afflicted with the dreaded disease of leprosy.
The same fear of the illness which humans had known throughout the ages since biblical times and before - terrorized the inhabitants of the concerned region when news of this development was published.

 Canadian Arctic Islands -- scenery and geology
This document is a sampling of scenery, wildlife, flora, and geology I have photographed mainly on Ellesmere, Axel Heiberg, and Amund Ringnes islands in the Canadian Arctic during geological fieldwork in 1987, 1990, and 1993.
By sharing these images and comments, I hope to communicate what the area is like, so people can appreciate it even if they do not have the opportunity to go there, or if they have not considered going there before.

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
The tag does not immediately transmit data about the shark's whereabouts; rather, it archives information about the shark's travels, and is programmed to pop off in April 2005, float to the surface, and send its archived data all at once.
Scientists said the gathered data will provide a windfall of information about the migrations of the great white shark.

 ABSTRACT: Geomorphology and bedrock geology of southern Norwegian Bay, Queen Elizabeth Islands, Northwest Territories
The easternmost trough extends north along Ellesmere Island from the mouths of a group of fiords, and has depths of over 350 m.
Shelves are especially prominent off Devon Island, and between North Kent and Graham islands where they form a sill that divides the bay into western and eastern basins.
The regional bedrock geology is well-known from surface mapping of the adjacent islands (Balkwill et al., 1983), and from subsurface geophysical and well information (Hea et al., 1980), but the near-surface bedrock geology of Norwegian Bay was previously unreported.

 RECENT SEDIMENTATION OF A TRANSECT OF HIGH ARCTIC ISOLATION BASINS, QUEEN ELIZABETH ISLANDS, NUNAVUT, CANADA
This study examines the recent sedimentation of five Arctic coastal lakes located on an east-west transect through Devon, Cornwallis, and Bathurst Island in the Queen Elizabeth Islands Archipelago (Q.E.I), Nunavut, Canada.
All studied lakes are all coastal inlets that have been isolated from the sea due to post-glacial uplift.
Before deriving climate information from these sediments, however, it is important to understand the controls on the depositional processes.

 Day Sail to Elizabeth Islands, Massachusetts
As we approach Cuttyhunk Island, a tallship passes in the distance cutting between islands on its way up Buzzard's Bay to the Cape Cod canal and Boston for the Sail Boston 2000 event.
The approach to Robinson's Hole, the gap between two of the Elizabeth Islands, was made against the height of the tide.
Since this was to be a leisurely cruise, we simply sailed a bit eastward, and put into a nice anchorage at Tarpaulin Cove, on the south side of Nashon Island, where we dropped anchor, and enjoyed a late lunch and a spate of napping during the day.
