&gt; <br/>
&gt; for example<br/>
&gt; you can see the area in question near the east end of the island<br/>
&gt; along the north shore of the little gulf called oyster pond<br/>
&gt; but this map shows the boundary slightly inland from the coast<br/>

&gt; however captain olivers hotel situated just there boasts <br/>

&gt; etc<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; there is only one boundary marker on the entire island<br/>
&gt; which is really more of a monument to the unity of the island<br/>
&gt; than to its division<br/>
&gt; celebrating a complete lack of border trappings & awareness<br/>
&gt; but the bigger problem is that no treaty text has yet been found<br/>

It&#39;s not much, but does it show the boundary?<br/>
