The towels feature a great map of Scituate including Third Cliff.
I love this article about Peggotty Beach from long ago: Will Irwin, “Togo, Mayor of Scituate: A True Dog Story, Illustrations by Henry J. Soulen,” The American Magazine, vol. 78, no. 2, August 1914 (New York: Phillips Pub. Co., 1914), 11–16 & 83–86, https://books.google.com/books?id=9Vg_AQAAMAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s.
