Campobello Island, N.B. is nine miles long and about
three miles wide. It has two fishing villages, Welshpool and Wilson's
Beach, both of them home port to many colorful vessels which go out
many miles to catch fish. Snug Cove where, at the end of the American
Revolution the notorious Benedict Arnold lived with his wife, the former
Peggy Shippen of Philadelphia, a famous beauty. Peggy found the cove
and the island too snug and too dull and the couple moved to Saint John,
N.B., staying there from 1789-1793. A road that winds upwards across
a field to the top of Friar's Head where you will get an awesome view
of Lubec, Eastport, Cobscook Bay, the mouth of Passamaquoddy Bay and
dozens of islands.
