Default Larger "Little Island"

Many years ago I spent more time in Paugus Bay. Little Island had a house on it with a boat slip underneath i.e. at least part of it was a two story house. There was also a good sized dock on the south side of the island. I would guess that ice action over the years has pushed a lot of the rocks around, with some moving under water. If I recall correctly, in "Three Centuries on Winnipesaukee" the author claims you could still see underwater remains of a fieldstone wall running from Little Island to the mainland, pre-raised dam days? That was published in the 30's I think. My copy is at camp so I can't double check.
