This is a 1939 John Haley and H. W. Hetherington pictorial map of coastal Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The map depicts from Jamestown, Rhode Island to western Cape Cod, including Falmouth and Woods Hole, Massachusetts and from Bristol, Rhode Island to Vineyard Sound, Martha's Vineyard, and the Atlantic Ocean. Buzzard's Bay, Narragansett Bay, and Martha's Vineyard are included. Beautifully 'arranged and designed', important historic locations, local villages, and other attractions throughout the region are illustrated by vignettes. These sites include local museums, restaurants, military installations and forts, and sailing ships, such as the U.S.S. Constitution, moored near the Naval War College, and the whale-ship Charles W. Morgan. The flags of numerous yacht clubs are also illustrated, including the Bristol Yacht Club, the Newport Yacht Club, the Edgartown Yacht Club, the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club, and the Woods Hole Yacht Club. Several ships are illustrated sailing in Narragansett and Buzzard Bays, among these are a modern battleship, the steamer between Boston and New York, the Mayflower, and a Viking longship.
