First sentence: A long deep harbor indents a particular spot on the rocky eastern coast of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, one of the thousands of cuts that create sheltered water spaces on the edges of the sprawling island (figure 1); during Capt. James Cook's survey of the area in the early 1760s, he called the harbor "the most remarkable of this coast."
