Jameson Island (formerly called Hog Island) is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay. [1] [2] [3]
There is a geodetic triangulation station on the highest point. [4]
The Deer Island ferry service runs between Macs and Pendleton Island on the northwest, and Jameson Island on the southeast. [5]
George Alexander Jameson was born Dec 29 1819 on the island, to parents John Alexander Jameson and Elizabeth Bonney. [6]
In 1832, Thomas Baillie wrote of an island south of Macs Island "which has been settled, but now is deserted. It contains about fifty acres, and is fit for a fisherman.", [7] which could reference Jameson or Parker Island.
As of 2009, Vincent Pine was living in the only house on the island. [8]
