Waquoit Bay
Waquoit Bay is a small landlocked tidal bay on the south shore of Cape Cod in the state of Massachusetts. The bay is connected with Nantucket Sound and separates the towns of Mashpee and Falmouth.[1]
In the early 1960s, Norwegian researcher Johannes Kristoffer Tornöe (1891-1970) suggested the shallow bay as a possible location of Leifsbudir, (Leif's booths or houses). Leifsbudir was mentioned in the Greenland Saga in reference to Leif Eriksson and the Norse colony of Vinland. [2] [3]
