Fire is such a fear among the islanders that the Stony Creek Fire Department holds regular drills with its fire boat. Money Island earned its name in 1786. Kidd's Cave is here, allegedly with an underwater entrance that scuba divers have yet to find. In the late 19th Century, this island also had a popular resort hotel and cottages. It's the most populous of the Thimbles with 30 homes jammed together almost like cabanas.
Pot Island is pockmarked with potholes gouged out by the glacier.
We know that. But it's also supposed to have an underground cavern filled with Kidd treasure. No one discounts these tales of buried treasure because, as Capt. Pot's real gold mine for many years was the public Thimble Islands House. It must have been popular.
