| | Long Island History: United States vs. Maine |
 | | A mere glance at a map of the region under consideration reveals that unless Long Island is considered to be part of the mainland and provides one of the headlands, neither Long Island Sound nor Block Island Sound satisfies Article 7's requirements for a bay. | | | The States assert that all of Block Island Sound should be within the juridical bay. | | | The status of Long Island Sound as internal waters over which the States have jurisdiction is no longer at issue, for the parties agree, as the Master had found, that Long Island Sound is a historic bay under Article 7(6). |

| | This leaves a section of land jutting out into the sea; this is called a headland. | | | Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast consisting of alternating bands of hard and soft rock. | | | Again weathering can also help to create these landforms. |
