Abstract
Several large faults of regional tectonic significance circle around Boston and disappear offshore at Plum Island south of Newburyport, Massachusetts (Castle and others, 1976; Barosh and others, 1977). The traces of these faults are, in places, well defined by aeromagnetic anomalies (Harwood and Zietz, 1977), The purpose of this traverse was to get a close look at the magnetic signatures of these faults on the ground before attempting to trace them offshore using ship-towed magnetometer.
