"Cape Cod is the bared and bended arm of Massachusetts: the shoulder is at Buzzard's Bay; the elbow, or crazy-bone, at Cape Mallebarre; the wrist at Truro; and the sandy fist at Provincetown."

Henry David Thoreau - 1849

"To a point now known as Sandy or Monemy Point, a point on the hither shore of the peninsula of Cape Cod, they gave the name of Cape Mallebarre. The Dutch called it Ongelukigb Haven, Unlucky Harbor, probably intended as a translation of the Spanish name."
