Ellsworth, Me., Contention Cove 

"Legend has it this spirit was alive and well early in the 17th century, when potential settlers first sailed up the pretty little bay searching for a safe harbor to start a new life. As they lay at anchor surrounded by forested hills near a serene cove, the crew had long, contentious discussions about settling in this particular spot. Some wanted to continue westward toward the more sheltered part of the bay, while others wanted to turn eastward and establish themselves on the more open area where they could more easily protect themselves from Indians. A majority finally won out and they hoisted sail, turning eastward, settling in in Ellsworth, and leaving as their legacy the name “Contention Cove.”"
