Narragansett Bay’s ancient history and sea floor map
A Bristol Phoenix retrospective on Narragansett Bay reveals a long geologic saga from a high level plain to glacial sculpting. It describes ancient river valleys, shoreward advances, and the present irregular submarine topography with depths over 180 feet near Castle Hill, plus sediment patterns and implications of future changes from barriers and climate shifts.
