On the southern end of the island the Pelican’s Pouch - the main lodge, was originally built as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy in the 1940’s and used as a secluded retreat. Connected to the convent via a wooden walkway was a separate building known as the “Bishop’s house” was a separate building connected to the convent. Then, the second floor of the lodge was one large dormitory style room with two rows of single beds, nightstand, and kneeler. At that time, the order still wore voluminous black and white habits and while the nuns were in residence, island residents and local fishermen would attend daily Mass and stay away from the south beach (known then as Sister’s Point) while they had their afternoon swim.
