- catalog abstract ""In 1613, a Dutch fur ship went up in flames near Manhattan Island. The stranded crew quickly rigged a new craft, and before starting home across the Atlantic, test drove the rickety boat, aptly named the Restless, through the roaring waters of Hell Gate. Surviving the whirlpool, they stumbled onto the journey's first piece of good luck and one of the most stunning landscapes in North America: the Long Island Sound." "In the first comprehensive account of the Long Island Sound, Marilyn E. Weigold brings the region's 400-year history to life with anecdotes and photography. The result is a medley of stories and a glimpse into one of the most beautiful and historically rich regions of the country."--Jacket.".
