From the Sept. 12, 1958 edition of the Vineyard Gazette:
Ancients of half a century ago would shake their heads at mention of Nab’s Corner and mutter that the place was not what it was, or words to that effect, because, as they explained, the Eel-pot no longer stood there. And when some youthful hearer asked what the Eel-pot may have been those same elders “closed their hatches” with abruptness and said no more.
