G. THE SPOT WHERE WE RAN OUR PINNACE AGROUND

Browns Bank, still an impediment to the navigation of the harbor. Apparently it was while their pinnace was aground that Champlain landed on the north end of Long Beach, where he sketched this map.

H. A KIND OF ISLAND COVERED WITH TREES, AND CONNECTED WITH THE SAND DUNES

The Gurnet, a low-swelling upland island, ending in a low bluff; it is largely bare of trees and occupied by a group of buildings belonging to the light station. It was thickly wooded when the Pilgrim Fathers settled here in 1620. Slafter’s contention that this was Saquish Head he later abandoned.

I. A FAIRLY HIGH PROMONTORY, WHICH IS VISIBLE FROM FOUR TO FIVE LEAGUES OUT TO SEA

Manomet Hill, 360 feet in height, a plateau ridge cut to an abrupt bluff where it reaches the sea, thus forming a conspicuous landmark.

Reproduced from the Champlain Society edition of The Works of Samuel de Champlain, plate LXXIV. The compass is Champlain’s, which is supposed to be set to the magnetic meridian, but the true north is shown by the arrow.
