History
The island was named after Col. Alexander McNutt, who lived here in the late 1760s.
During World War II, a battery of two 10 inch M1888 guns were built on the island. It was abandoned in 1945 after the war ended, but the guns remain in place until today. [3] However, the island wasn't abandoned in 1945 because there were a few families who lived there during and after the war.
gollark: Tritium lamps would be nice, at least.
gollark: It sounds more like it's meant to just make things glowy so they're more visible.
gollark: Would that not make seeing *worse*?
gollark: I'm not asking "how does it glow", I'm asking "why do you want goggles filled with glowy stuff".
gollark: No, I mean, realistically, how will sticking glowy things in front of your eyes do anything useful?
