Number of islands

The page says "nine small islands" but the graphic includes a greater number labeled "I." and even more if you count the ledges and outcrops. So, I think we should choose a different way of stating this. I thought "nine major islands" but they are quite small and I don't want to give the impression that the Isles are "major". If you can think of a good way to phrase this, I invite your contribution. Isoxyl 17:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then, of course, the number of islands changes depending upon the tide. –Shoaler (talk) 17:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point as well. Perhaps something like a "small group of islands" or "group of small islands"? :) I think we should either quantify in some way that make sense, or not. We could indicate that the map indicates high/low tide, etc if that is necessary. Ideas? Isoxyl 17:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like "a small group of islands." The exact number isn't really important. Then we should say something in the text about how White and Seavey are connected at low tide or how Lunging is almost divided into two islands at high tide. –Shoaler (talk) 18:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are there a set number that have names? That seems a good way to differentiate between rocks above water and "islands". Then we could say "a small group of islands, including nine (???) that are named" or something like that. - DavidWBrooks 18:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Samuel Haley House

This article says that the Samuel Haley House is not the oldest house in Maine: http://seacoastnh.com/History/As_I_Please/Misty_Legends_of_Sam_Haley/ Also the house is shown on the label of local brewer Smuttynose Brewing Company.
