content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Money Cove on the western coast of Grand Manan Island in Canada. A sandy beach strewn with rocks stretches horizontally across the foreground before curving, at left, into the middle distance, which is mostly comprised of the cove's calm waters. Three houses are built on the beach at center–the leftmost two constructed beside the outlet of stream known as Money Cove Brook, which creates a cleft in the otherwise steep cliffs and mountainsides that hem-in the beach. A particularly tall and rocky prominence with a rounded summit is visible at center, looming above the rightmost structure. Beside the structure at right, near the cape's point, what appear to be a bunch of semi-submerged branches or reeds are, in fact, the visible portions of an active fishing weir whose stone foundations still exist.
