Slut's Bush

Slut's Bush was an island off the coast of Chatham, Massachusetts.

Once a rocky, swampy island covered with low shrubs, berry bushes, and vines, it appeared on 17th century maps of Cape Cod,^[1] as well as 18th century deeds of the area.^[2][3] It may have been a small portion of a larger island referred to as 'Ile Nawset' or Nauset Island.^[4]

By 1864 it was described as under deep water, although stumps and roots could still be seen from a boat on a calm day.^[3]
