Treasure Island

Another view of Charles Island from this past spring. Charles Island is famous for being a 'treasure' Island. The longstanding legend is that in 1699 Captain Kidd, on his last voyage before being lured into a trap and executed, buried part of his treasure on the island. No booty has ever been found and the 14 acre island has no residents and is a bird sanctuary. The island is accessible by a sandbar that appears at low tide.
