The Story of Fisher Island Fisher Island was a wedge of land - TopicsExpress



          

The Story of Fisher Island Fisher Island was a wedge of land with coconut palms and mangroves that sat in Biscayne Bay. Miami Beach founder and developer Carl Fisher bought it from Dana Dorsey, South Floridas first black millionaire. Fisher, when trying to expand the island and build deep-water docks, experienced quite a bit of push back from the County, which delayed his progress. The construction of the Port of Miami served to separate the lush appendage from Miami Beach, creating an entirely distinctive island. fisherislandclub/History
