Ever Heard Of The Mistake Island?(photo) by gideonjeta(m): 2:48am On Jul 20, 2018
Located off the coast of Jonesport , Mistake Island is just a 30 - acre island in the state of Maine , US with coordinates – 44 ° 28 ’29 . 2″ N , 67 ° 32 ’ 06 .4 ″ W .
This island consists of a lighthouse – Moose Peak Light , few houses, and some vegetation . Although it may seem as though the name “Mistake Island ”was coined just for no reason or as a joke, the name is actually a corruption of the word “Moosabec ” – a name believed to have had its origins in an Abenaki word , possibly meaning “moose head” .
Looking at the surroundings around Mistake Island , there seems to be no logic at all for it’s name .
This only shows that there don’ t always have to be a reason behind naming places .
