Slut's Bush
Slut's Bush was an island off the coast of Chatham, Massachusetts.
Once a rocky, swampy island covered with low shrubs, berry bushes, and vines, it appeared on 17th century maps of Cape Cod.[1] as well as 18th century deeds of the area.[2][3] It may have been a small portion of a larger island referred to as 'Ile Nawset' or Nauset Island.[4]
By 1864 it was described as under deep water, although stumps and roots could still be seen from a boat on a calm day.[5]
