Like its neighbours Nelly, Ports, and Hawkins islands, it was owned by the British Admiralty, and became a prisoner of war camp during the Second Boer War from 1901 to 1902.[2] A cemetery on the island, which had previously been used by the military for victims of yellow fever, became a Boer War cemetery, and is maintained as a memorial by the Bermuda National Trust.[3]
