1904 -- "This shoreline is made up of Glacial Moraine. As the glacier melted back into Porpoise Bay the residue was left. Some years ago I was walking past the hotel and noticed a fir tree (perhaps 2-3 hundred years old) growing on the gravelly beach. How long since the glaciers were there is difficult to say."
