Few places in any American city have packed so many layers of change into such a small area. Jones Island is practically an open book that tells, on the miniature scale, the story of our entire region, but it is also a richly human story.

From the cultural struggles of the early Indians to the catastrophic flooding of Capt. Jones' shipyard, from the storybook lives of the Kaszubian fisherfolk to their ultimate eviction, the Island incorporated more drama, tragedy, conflict, and romance than you'd find landscapes a hundred times larger.
