Nice images of Robin Hood's Bay, Nutty.

I have wondered about this thread for some time without bothering to read it through. But that was probably because I grew up in a small coastal village in Maine on the shores of Robinhood Cove. We were always told that the Cove was named in honor of a local Indian chief who's real name no one troubled to pronounce. But maybe there was a deeper connection among the early English settlers to your Robin Hood's Bay. I don't suppose any of old Benjamin Rigg's family still lives there? He was our village founder, shipowner and dockmaster, and we've always wondered what dreadful deed he had done before he settled here.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, whose family farm is still on Robinhood Cove
