Synopsis
Excerpt from Boston on Massachusetts Bay: A Short Sketch of the Old City, With a Trip to Marblehead and the Program of the Thirty-Second Annual Convention of the Heating and Piping Contractors National Association, May 31 to June 2, 1921
Charles - will probably remain an argued question as long as the old town exists. That they cruised the coasts of Nova Scotia seems accepted; their native legends say they followed southward until they found a warmer country where the sun was several hours in sight even in the winter months - that they entered the mouth of a wide river and made their landing on its bank. Professor Horsford claimed to have identified Watertown as the Vinland (or Vineland) that they described on their return to their northern home; that traces of their walls and docks were still to be seen, with the excava tions of an amphitheatre and the foundations of a fort. The latter site is marked by Norumbega Tower, in Weston, and there is a statue to Leif Ericson, The Discoverer, on Commonwealth Avenue.
