Hype for the Future 66E: Upper Cape

Introduction While the Elizabeth Islands that separate the Buzzards Bay from the Vineyard Sound are located off the coast of the Woods Hole area and contain the Town of Gosnold, the vast majority of the approximately seventy (70) permanent residents are exclusively within the area of the village of Cuttyhunk on Cuttyhunk Island specifically, as the remaining islands are largely identified as privately owned by the Boston Brahmin Forbes family.

The Cape Cod Canal is an artificial waterway in Massachusetts connecting Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south, and is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The approximately 7.4-mile-long (11.9 km) canal traverses the neck of land joining Cape Cod to the state's mainland. It mostly follows tidal rivers widened to 480 feet (150 m) and deepened to 32 feet (9.8 m) at mean low water, shaving up to 135 miles (217 km) off the journey around the cape for its approximately 14,000 annual users.

The Town of Gosnold, Massachusetts, is located on the Elizabeth Islands, all of which are claimed by Dukes County, and all but two of which are also claimed by the Boston Brahmins by way of the Forbes family. Cuttyhunk Island is home to the vast majority of the approximately seventy people of the Town of Gosnold, the smallest of the towns of Massachusetts.
