Partridge Island: A Gateway to North America/L'île Partridge: Un passage vers l'Amérique du Nord

Partridge Island was a major quarantine station for immigrants from the early 19th century to its closing in 1941. The island also served as a military base, and during the Second World War several defensive gun emplacements were built there. The book revisits all of the structures that once existed on the island, as well as the lighthouse that still stands.
