I have visited Ipswich many times and can relate to this poem as I read it for the first time today. The visual I remember are the shallow water inlet flats and seafood.

Allan, Ipswich is a beautiful town steeped in history, like all the towns and cities in this area. It's just short ride from where I live - three towns over.

I thought you might find this link interesting - The Legend of Heartbreak Hill, with a poem of the same name by Celia Thaxter - https://historicipswich.net/2022/10/11/heartbreak-hill/
