Question: where was gilligan's island filmed in bahamas

title: Blue Lagoon Island
text: In 1875 , Charles King - Harman , an Englishman who was later knighted and became Governor of Cyprus , bought the island from the British Crown for £ 35 . He owned it for 11 years , until he sold it to a Bahamian , Sir Augustus John Adderley , for £ 105 . Adderley kept it for six years . Two Americans who wanted to cultivate corn and vegetables offered him £ 145 . The farming effort failed and in 1902 they sold it to Abraham Van Winkle for a £ 10 loss ( £ 135 ) . Van Winkle hired hundreds of laborers to dredge out the salt marsh and blasted a cut into the lagoon from the sea , planted 5,000 palm trees and built over a mile of meandering concrete paths . He later imported a zoo of monkeys , peacocks , turkeys , pheasants , parrots , and iguanas to populate the paradise garden . He shared the island with the public by bringing guests over on his boat at a rate of $1 per person .
