Cuttyhunk lies at the far southwestern end of the Elizabeth Island chain. 
It is a small island with a large and deep harbor. When I was younger deer would roam the island , 
and there was a windmill on the top of the hill. The hill is still there, but the deer and windmill are gone. 
Many visitors still climb the hill, for the spectacular view, a panorama from Gay Head to Newport to the Cape.

A ferry runs from New Bedford, but most visitors arrive by pleasure boat. 
Because it is a small island, there are always a story or two about the colorful  inhabitants.
