| 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.
