Trunk Island, Bermuda

Trunk Island, Bermuda

Trunk Island is the largest island in Harrington Sound, Bermuda. It is seven acres. Comprised of two houses, the main mansion and a guest cottage. The island has been owned by the Tucker/Gardner family since the early 1800s and was used as a summer camp for Bermudian groups such as Sea Scouts and Girl Guides in the 1920s and 1930s. It remains privately owned by descendants of the first owners. Now a share of the ownership has been donated to the Bermuda Zoological Society which supports educational programs at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo.
