3658Porcupine Islands
  • Reference
  • Places, Island
  • Bar Harbor
The Porcupine Islands, named for their resemblance to a group of porcupines, in Frenchman Bay off the coast of Bar Harbor. The islands are Sheep Porcupine Island, Burnt Porcupine Island, Long Porcupine Island and Bald Porcupine Island. The islands are uninhabited and owned by Acadia National Park. They are nesting areas for a number of sea birds and access to some islands is restricted during nesting season. The islands get their distinctive shape from their formation as they were carved by retreating glaciers moving north to south. This created the gentle slope on the north side with a sharp drop off in the south end.

  • Cranberry Isles, Sutton Island
The earliest settlers on Sutton's Island were Joseph Lancaster of Sullivan and Isaac Richardson, son of James Richardson of Mount Desert. William and Joseph Moore were early settlers, also. William later moved to Bear Island and was the first keeper of the Bear Island light. Sutton, from whom the island now takes its name, was, perhaps, a squatter. It is thought that he removed to the Maritime Provinces. - “Mount Desert, A History” by George E. Street, Edited by Samuel A. Eliot, Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1905.
