General Note:
Beginning in the James A. Waddell of Key West planted coconut palms on 1,120 acres at Middle Cape. (A few more also grew on East Cape.) Mostly untended, the Waddell Grove dominated the landscape until the 1935 hurricane destroyed the palms. These photographs are probably of the Middle Cape.
