The eastern bank of the Pattersquash # 4 on map has been this way since before America was a country.

 

 

"The Point"

#5 on the map

Located on the Knapp Estate at the end of Locust Dr. This was most likely the location of the WWI aero station in 1917.There were three floating hangers, three Curtiss flying boats, a wireless station and 15 or more flyers (including Dodi Knapp) mostly from Yale & Princeton. My reasoning is because of the observation tower that survived here until the 1940's. BTW: It was a great place to catch spring flounders in the 1950's

The View in 1930's

Just behind the tower is the Woodhull Lodge which may of been used as the barracks

 

and just around the point we have .....

 

The entrance to "Knapp Cove"

#6 on map

 

This is where Dodi Knapp kept his Sea Sled "Miss Demure" and the original 53 foot "Storm King" and probably many more boats over the twenty some years he spent here. The creek on the left fed into the pond on his golf course.
