Also known as Hub Island, is an island located in the Thousand Islands chain, in New York, United States. The island is known for being the smallest inhabited island, which appears to be around 3,300 square feet (310 m2), or about one-thirteenth of an acre. Purchased by the Sizeland family in the 1950s, the island has a house, a tree, shrubs, and a small beach.
In case anyone wanted to see the beautiful castle that I got to explore today, here are some pictures that I took. This is Boldt Castle on Heart Island in Alexandria Bay, New York. It’s part of the Thousand Islands.

Stole a Motor Boat, Which Was Sunk.
---
Alexandria Bay, Sept. 9. - Another case of joy riding in a motor boat occurred at this place Saturday evening, brought to light by an accident occurring in which four persons narrowly escaped drowning.
The boat was J. B. Taylor's MacTay's, and in it were Arthur Gove, of this place, a chauffeur named Williams, of Watertown, and two men whose names are unknown.
The accident occurred about 12 o'clock, as the party was crossing the river in front of Belle Isle. In some unaccountable manner the MacTay ran into a coal barge, which was being towed down the river, and the bow of the motor boat was demolished.
All four occupants were thrown into the river, and the boat sank until just the stern was above water. Walter Wagoner, who has a farm on Wellesley island, was crossing the river on his way home in a skiff, and heard the cries of the women. He went to the rescue, and with the aid of two canoeists, who happened to be near the scene, pulled the four people out of the river.
There are 9 miles of trails within the 600-acre Nature Center, and each of them is stunning in its own way due to the number of different ecosystems throughout the park. There are wetlands, forests, giant rock outcroppings, and meadows.
