Walking by Palmers Island

Good Morning and have a great day

Today I will share a few shots of part of a walk I took one Morning, I had parked at the other end of the Harbor walk, and walked across it and then out on the road going by Palmers siland and these shots are from that part of the walk

Starting with a shot of Palmers Island

A little bit of the history of the island

Pre-dating the Pilgrims’ arrival in Plymouth by 18 years, English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold first surveyed the 6-acre island during his exploration of New Bedford Harbor in 1602. The island was later named after William Palmer, an original settler of Old Dartmouth. The island was used as an internment camp for Native Americans during King Phillip’s War (1675-1676) and as a garrison during the Revolutionary War. A hotel and amusement park were built during the 19th century. During the 1938 Hurricane all the structures on the island were washed away with the exception of the lighthouse.

Beside the island or part of the island at low tide is a lighthouse which you may see in the middle of this shot, i only had a wider angle lens with me that morning so coudnt zoom in on the lighthouse.

At the end of the road ast Plamers Island is this control building, where they can close the gates and in effect join the two Hurrican barrier walls one coming from Fairhaven and the one I am standing on in New Bedford

That's so crazy, it looks so small in the photos. I never would have guessed it was six acres, let alone had room for all that stuff to be on it! Very cool photos and a very interesting history!

IT is such a cool little island, looking forward to catching it one day when the tide is low so I can explore it again

Interesting history, and a great reminder that strong hurricanes can indeed come that far north. It must have been pretty strong with storm surge at high tide to do that kind of damage. Great pictures, it's a pretty little island, so much history for just six acres!
