"In
the tide
pools — many of them, particularly about Thatcher's Island, curious
natural aquariums —the botanist can study and admire a great many
species of algae. After one of the many north-east storms, so frequent
on this coast during the spring and autumn, he will be well repaid for
clambering over rocks and wading through pools along the shore searching
for them."
Dr. Henry Leonard Pigeon Cove and Vicinity, pub. 1873
