Garden Island (Ontario) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Garden Island (Ontario)
Garden Island is an island in the municipality of Frontenac Islands, Frontenac County, in Eastern Ontario, Canada. Part of the Thousand Islands, it is located in the St. Lawrence Seaway, approximately 2 miles (3 km) south of Kingston, northwest of Wolfe Island, and is approximately in size. From the mid-1830s to around 1914, Delino Dexter Calvin and, later, his son, Hiram Augustus, operated a shipping and lumber operation based on the island. There was small industry consisting of timber transported to the island on ships and then assembled into large rafts that were floated down the Saint Lawrence River to Quebec City for transport to Britain. Now somewhat of a ghost town, few remnants of the original village exist. The history of the former shipyard is the subject of an exhibit at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston. ==Geology== The geology of Garden Island is consistent with Wolfe Island and Howe Island as they are all part of the Township of Frontenac Islands. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cleanwatercataraqui.ca/publications/updatedAssessmentReport/L-7FrontenacIslandsGroundwaterandAquiferCharacterizationStudy.pdf )〕
