Point Francis or Portage Island, on the southwest side of the bay, was studied by Vonheeder (1972). He found the south facing shoreline of the island to be eroding from southerly wave attack.
During the summer and autumn of 1971, I was part of a small group of programmers who were developing a time-sharing system called TENEX that ran on Digital PDP-10 computers. We were supporting a larger group working on natural language. Earlier, I had worked on the Network Control Protocol (NCP) for TENEX and network programs such as an experimental file transfer program called CPYNET.
