1. massachusetts bay

   Massachusetts Bay is a body of water in the Atlantic Ocean that extends from Cape Ann on the north to Plymouth on the south, in the northeastern United States. It is best known for being the location where the Mayflower Pilgrims arrived in 1620 and established the Plymouth Colony. The term is also often used to refer to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a British settlement in North America (1630-1691), encompassing parts of present-day Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. The Massachusetts Bay area is home to major cities like Boston and Cambridge.

1. Massachusetts Bay

   Massachusetts Bay, also called Mass Bay, is a bay on the Atlantic Ocean which forms the distinctive shape of the coastline of the U.S. state of Massachusetts. It extends from Plymouth Harbor on the south to Cape Ann on the north, a distance of 42 miles. It is triangular in shape, the north and south shores inclining toward each other until at the entrance to Boston Harbor they are about five miles apart. The depth from the base of the triangle to Boston Harbor is about 21 miles. The bay's westernmost point is situated at Boston. The northern shore is rocky and irregular, the southern low, marshy, and sandy. Along the shores are a number of capes and headlands, and off the coast a number of small islands, especially in the entrance to Boston Harbor. The principal inlets are: on the north coast, Gloucester Harbor, Nahant Bay, Salem Harbor, Marblehead Harbor, and Lynn Harbor; on the west, Boston Harbor, Dorchester Bay, and Quincy Bay; on the south coast, Hingham Bay. Massachusetts Bay is itself part of the Gulf of Maine, which reaches from Cape Cod up to Nova Scotia. Just south is Cape Cod Bay. Cape Cod Bay is sometimes construed as part of Massachusetts Bay; under this interpretation, the name "Massachusetts Bay" denotes the entire rectangular area of ocean between Cape Ann and Cape Cod.
