Tales of the Lost Ark »
In the days before internal combustion, it was impossible for Bay
watermen to commute to distant fishing grounds every day. So they

Jody Argo Scroath takes us back to the days of the fishing ark, or ark
village, once a common sight on the shores of the Bay.

author Gilbert Klingel made the island his home base for exploring and
writing about the Bay's natural wonders. In the 1960s he moved there
for good, says Lynn Teo Simarski, and made a name for himself in yet
another field: steel-hull boatbuilding.
