Wonder what it used to be like?- I can't fathom how people abandon stuff. A lovely view to decay in though.
I wonder too, Chrissy. I've been learning that many yacht clubs and marinas in the area use the islands to store the docks for the off-season. If they don't want the dock the following season - they leave it behind.

Everyone needs to do their part of stewardship for our open spaces and national treasures like the Boston Harbor Islands.
