Vincent's Cove
Originally known as "Vinson's Cove" for William Vinson, the original settler, in Lane's day Vincent's Cove was lined with wharves and was an important ship-building site in the mid-nineteenth century. In the 1870s the length of the dock parallel with Main Street was filled in to a width of about 125 feet. Later the entire area was filled and Vincent's Cove was only a memory.
