Thanks @John_Williams , @Diane_Miller , @Igor_Doncov & @Marylynne_Diggs. The cove is still used by the owners and the folks who rent it like our group. It is the oldest house on Vinal Haven and probably dates back to the 1700s when it was a working farm. There is a family cemetery on part of the hill above the house and the bigger barn. I’ll post that eventually. The kayaks are what they are and I didn’t see any other types of small craft around although I didn’t go in either barn where stuff like that probably was kept. The tides on this part of the Atlantic have big swings and those granite pilings get about totally covered when it’s high. The house here was probably a boat shack or a fishing shack, but it’s just a mess inside now. Here’s a link to the first photo I posted- Workshop on the cove
There’s a new image with Igor’s suggestion in the OP. Thanks much!
