A cool visit to Georges Island! Please Subscribe For More Videos! Free Ferry Day, May 7 2016 !
Georges Island is one of the islands in the Boston Harbor, situated just over 7 miles (11 km) from downtown Boston. The island has a permanent size of 39 acres (160,000 m2), plus an intertidal zone of a further 14 acres (57,000 m2), and rises to a height of 50 feet (15 m) above sea level. Historic Fort Warren is on the island. Because of this, and since a ferry operates from Boston to the island, it is a popular destination and one of the easiest islands to access in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. -Wiki

Diving Little Brewster Island, Boston Harbor - Part 1
September 2016 - Little Brewster Island, Boston Harbor Islands, Massachusetts
Beautiful diving along Little Brewster Island on a stormy day in Boston Harbor. The first part of the footage was filmed during the surface interval, as we move the boat farther away from the island due to the storm.
After it passed and we got the go-ahead via radio, we did a second dive. Visibility was actually really good for the area (~20 feet) once down the line about 20 feet, max depth around 45' ~ (14 m).

Military History of the Boston Harbor Islands
Historian and author Jayne Triber draws on her research and experiences working at Fort Independence on Castle Island in South Boston and at the Boston Harbor Islands national park area to review the dramatic, colorful, and military history of these hidden treasures.
For over 350 years, the Boston Harbor Islands have played an important role in the defense of Boston, Massachusetts and the United States. From the colonial period to the Cold War, the Harbor Islands have been the site of fortifications, training camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and Nike missile installations.
New book explores Boston Harbor Islands
They're right there in our own back yard. How much do we really know about the Boston Harbor Islands?
Castle Island in South Boston is a favorite outing for local families. What is the fort there called and who named it?
What is the small outcropping off Houghs Neck? Who once had a summer camp there?
Which South Shore island was bequeathed to Harvard College? You'll find the answers below, and in a new book, ``The Boston Harbor Islands: A History of an Urban Wilderness'' by David Kales of Arlington, with photographs by Ron Goodman of Quincy. The book is dedicated to Goodman's late wife, Judy, who died three years ago. Both Goodmans were active in the 10-year campaign to create Nut Island state park in Houghs Neck as part of the Boston Harbor cleanup. Ron Goodman, recently remarried, has lived in Houghs Neck for more than 40 years.
The Boston Harbor Islands, created in 1996 as a national park recreation area, contain 34 islands and peninsulas stretching from Winthrop to Hull and Hingham. Many -- World's End in Hingham and Peddocks Island between Quincy and Hull -- hold special meaning and memories for generations of South Shore residents.
Goodman, 69, and Kales, 68, are former Harvard College roommates and longtime friends who want this unique New England resource to be much more than that. Kales is a veteran journalist, freelance author and board member of Friends of Boston Harbor Islands. Goodman, involved in several civic groups, taught English and photography at Quincy College for 25 years. They took on the book as a project in semi-retirement to make more people aware of the islands and their legacy. Unless future generations take an active interest, they fear, the islands' survival as places of beauty and reflection could be lost.
Kales cites the recent proposal to locate a liquefied natural gas terminal off Outer Brewster Island as the latest and most extreme threat. He speaks passionately about the joy he finds in visiting the islands, ``a place for renewal and reconnection,'' and the furthermost Brewsters in particular -- ``truly wild, rockbound islands.'' He returns year-round to savor the rich mix of migratory birds and seals. Boston Light, the nation's first lighthouse, still in operation, is on Little Brewster Island. Kales sees all this as ripe for rediscovery -- a place people of all backgrounds can find recreation and relaxation.
And he makes a case for defining them as a wilderness.
They are, he writes, a wild, natural area, still unknown and mysterious, and like the western wilderness areas, alluring places that capture the imagination. A wilderness by any definition in his book, and one of the last in an urban setting.
``Seven million people live within 50 miles of the islands, but they're still undiscovered by the vast majority of people in the Greater Boston area and the nation,'' he says.
Each island or peninsula has its own story, and Spectacle Island is one of the more dramatic. Now an impressive day trip, a magical escape from the city on a hot summer's day, with wonderful views, easy walking trails, and a fine visitors center, Spectacle was once a foul city dump. Methane gas from piles of raw garbage ignited by spontaneous combustion and old horses were processed into glue. Thanks to the Big Dig and Boston harbor cleanup funds, it has been reclaimed and transformed, using tons of excavated Ted Williams Tunnel dirt and other materials as fill.
With historical illustrations and photographs, this 145-page paperback from History Press for $19.99 is a good read, informative, and inspiring. ``We hope it will become more than an accurate history and serve as an overture for the future stewardship of these wonderful resources,'' Goodman said.
The answers to that quiz:
-- Fort Independence on Castle Island was named by John Adams.
-- Raccoon Island off Houghs Neck had a summer camp in the 1930s run by the Stigmatine Religious Order.
-- Bumpkin Island off Hull in Hingham Bay was bequeathed to Harvard in the 1600s.
