Thank you, Lee, for providing these links to the SHPO letter and  report.  
As a nominator of Nantucket Sound to the National Trust for their  
consideration of this body of water for America's 11 Most Endangered Historic  
Places; and nominator of Nantucket Sound to Preservation MA for their  
consideration of Nantucket Sound for Massachusetts 10 Most Endangered, I welcome  this 
National Register eligibility determination.  
 
I called the State Secretary today to voice my support as I  believe this 
action took vision and courage on the part of the MHC and  Brona Simon as 
SHPO.  The integrity of the Cape Wind NEPA permit review  process has been 
elevated by MHC and the SHPO.  I am most grateful for  their actions taken in 
concert with the Federally Recognized Wampanoag of Gay  Head (Aquinnah); and 
the Federally Recognized Mashpee Wampanoag that may result  in meaningful 
long-term historic preservation of this ancient submerged  land, Nantucket 
Sound.
