About Massachusetts Bay
Photographs taken in and around eastern Massachusetts, concentrating on the coastal towns along the Massachusetts Bay. Any one with a passion for photography is welcome to join the group.
The Massachusetts Bay, also called Mass Bay, is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. The bay, with its arms (Boston, Cape Cod, and Plymouth bays), extends 65 mi (105 km) from Cape Ann on the north to Cape Cod on the south. Its coastline varies from the irregular, rocky shore of the north to the sandy beaches of the south. 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. The bay's westernmost point is situated at Boston.
Massachusetts Bay includes, but is not limited to, the Boston Harbor, Dorchester Bay, Quincy Bay (both part of the Outer Boston Harbor), Hingham Bay, Cohasset Harbor, Scituate Harbor, Green Harbor, Duxbury Harbor and Plymouth Harbor.
The bay, along with Quincy, Narragansett, Buzzards and Cape Cod Bays, gave its name to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, one of the two predecessor colonies of the current Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
