Long Island, MA - An inspiration for the movie "Shutter Island"

E X P L O R E # 1 0 7

A view of Long Island from the plane just after takeoff from Boston's Logan International Airport. I came to know long after this flight that Massachusetts' Long Island has such a long history. You can find more about the island here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_(Massachusetts)

Long Island is situated in the middle of Boston Harbor, Massachusetts. The island is part of the City of Boston and of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Access to the island is via a road over a 4,175-foot (1,273 m) causeway from the Squantum peninsula of North Quincy to Moon Island, and from there, over a 3,050-foot (930 m) two-lane steel bridge from Moon Island to Long Island. The bridge is officially called the Long Island Viaduct.

At the beginning of the American colonial period, Long Island was used and populated by Native American Indians. On April 1, 1634, the island was granted to the City of Boston along with Deer Island and Hogg Island (now Orient Heights in East Boston). The rent for these three islands was set at two pounds per year.

Long Island allegedly served as inspiration for Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island.
