Lobster Cove & Crab Point

Casco Bay folklore places the pirate Dixie Bull along these channel-facing coves in the early 1630s. No verified evidence of buried treasure on Cushing exists.

• West-facing coves offer concealment from Portland approaches.
• Ledges provide natural landings independent of tide.

1. 1.Would a pirate realistically choose Cushing over the outer islands?
2. 2.What would evidence — not treasure — actually look like?

Distances are straight-line from recorded coordinates. Island roads curve, so allow more time than the estimate.
