This small Island in Remsheg Harbour is called Oyster Island. Today its a great spot for nesting Great Blue Herons. Around the beginning of the 20th Century it became the north end support, for the relatively long Livingstone Bridge. It is quite small, however it shows up on early charts of the Harbour, done prior to 1840. There are many oysters found near the Island but perhaps the inspiration for the name came from the Loyalists.One of the last Islands the Loyalist would see when leaving New York Harbour is one called Oyster Island.
