Ragged Island
(9 sq. miles / population 72)

Ragged Island was once home to a prosperous salt industry. The salt ponds were opened on Ragged Island in the late 19th Century by Mr. Duncan Taylor–hence the name Duncan Town, the only settlement on Ragged Island. A few years ago salt was still an industry on Ragged Island but has almost stopped now. Fishing is still done on a small scale.
