Vineyard Sound is the stretch of the Atlantic Ocean which separates the Elizabeth Islands and the southwestern part of Cape Cod from the island of Martha's Vineyard, offshore from the state of Massachusetts in the USA. To the west, it joins Rhode Island Sound and on its eastern end it connects to Nantucket Sound.
Vineyard Sound holds some of the largest Summer Flounder in Massachusetts.

Make a vineyard of the curse,”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Today we seek a moral basis for peace.... It cannot be a lasting peace if the fruit of it is oppression, or starvation, cruelty, or human life dominated by armed camps. It cannot be a sound peace if small nations must live in fear of powerful neighbors. It cannot be a moral peace if freedom from invasion is sold for tribute.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
