Ragged Island (Massachusetts)
- Ragged Island (Massachusetts)
Ragged Island is an island in the Hingham Bay area of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The island has a permanent size of 4 acres, and is composed of a massing of roxbury puddingstone which rises to a height of 30 feet above sea level. Broken ledges surround most of the island with small gravel beaches on the southeast and northwest sides with small tidal mudflats.[cite web| title = Ragged Island Factsheet | url = http://www.bostonislands.org/factsheet_template.asp?rsIslands__MMColParam=ragg | publisher = Boston Harbor Islands Partnership | accessmonthday = October 7 | accessyear = 2006] The island was first occupied by John Langlee in the late 1600s. In the late 1800s it was developed as part of a summer resort, and has subsequently been the site of a restaurant and rustic observation shelters. Today it is uninhabited and has an interesting mix of cultivated and naturalized plants, including Lily-of-the-valley, Daylily, Silver Maple, Red Maple, Norway Maple, Cedar, Norway Spruce, Linden, Greenbrier and Poison Ivy. The island is managed by the town of Hingham and access is by private boat only.][cite web| title = Ragged Island Factsheet | url = http://www.bostonislands.org/factsheet_template.asp?rsIslands__MMColParam=ragg | publisher = Boston Harbor Islands Partnership | accessmonthday = October 7 | accessyear = 2006] ]
