Quarantine for incoming ships is maintained at Gallup's Island. Rainsford Island, bought from the Indians by Elder Edward Raynesford in Colonial times, is now city property and the site of a munici- pal almshouse. On Thompson's Island there is an agricultural school for boys, and on Bumkin Island the Burrage Hospital for crippled children. Boston Harbor is rich in historic association, and although much has been written of it, to do it justice 16 OF BOSTON would require a far more ambitious vol...ume than this booklet. In summer the nearby resorts are crowded with pleasure-seekers, and the cooling breezes are as available for the poor as for the well-to-do. Nan- tasket Beach, upon whose sands the ocean rollers break unceasingfly, migfht be called the Coney Island of New England — if it were an island, and if it were not practically duplicated by Revere Beach, which, though not quite within the harbor limit, is just around the corner from it. On hot Sundays in summer the visitors to these beaches run into the hundreds of thousands.
