	Narragansett Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Narragansett Bay is a bay on the north side of Rhode Island Sound, forming an expansive natural harbor as well as a small archipelago.
		The Narragansetts occupied the west side of the bay.
		The bay has several entrances, however, and the exact route of his voyage and the location where laid anchor is still a subject of dispute among historians, leading to a corresponding uncertainty over which tribe made contact with him (see [1], [2]).

	Narragansett
		Narragansett is an English corruption of Nanhigganeuck, their actual name meaning "people of the small point." The Dutch used the shortened form of Nahican.
		Located just to the east in southeast Massachusetts between Plymouth and the Narragansett in Rhode Island, the Wampanoag were one of the tribes forced to pay tribute, so it is hardly surprising that the Wampanoag welcomed the new English settlement at Plymouth in 1620 and sought an alliance with them.
		However, the Narragansett grew increasingly alarmed at the growing power of Uncas and in 1640 formed an alliance with the Pocumtuc and Tunxis (Mattabesic) against the Mohegan.

	The Warming of Narragansett Bay
		The beach at Narragansett has long been a popular spot for photographers in summer, and it is common to find sepia images of our ancestors looking a little silly in their very modest antique bathing costumes decorating local restaurants, hotels, and history books.
		The beach in winter is another matter, however, and it must have taken something quite unusual to attract the photographer who recorded the grim picture shown inset at left of Narragansett Beach thick with ice in the winter of 1917–18.
		In their long record of over 22,000 measurements, the coldest winter was that of 1917–18, when the average water temperature from December through February was only 0.7 C (33.2 F).
