阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
Martha's Vineyard got its name from its discoverer, Artholomew Gasnold, who named it after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.
The island of Martha's Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the Southeastern coast of Massachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.
The island was discovered early in the 17th century. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the new-comers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of whaling and sailing ships, Martha's Vineyard was almost forgotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.
