Located on the SW coast of Buzzards Bay 12 miles south of New Bedford and about 8 from Marthas Vineyard. Its name comes from its Indian name of Poocutohhunkunnoh. In 1602 Bartholomew Gosnold explored Cuttyhunk and the other islands in the Elizabeth chain. Access is usually by ferry from New Bedford. For several decades, Tony Everett, grandfather of the photographer, based his lobster fishing operations from Cuttyhunk harbor and Fairhaven at Union Wharf.
