This was a gem of a island and spent 3 days here. This is the location of the Perry Institute for Marine Science. This is a ghost town currently as everyone has left and in a hurry I might add. It had about 100 people when it was fully operational. It is a complete city with Wind, Solar and Diesel Generators, Reverse Osmosis water-maker, scientific labs, aqua culture center, full tri mix dive center with hyperbolic chamber and numerous other labs and offices.

There is fully stocked hardware, plumbing, mechanical and electrical repair shops and supply storerooms that are still stocked. It appears that the money ran out and everyone left.

| These buildings are fully stocked with supplies that would put most hardware stores to shame. |

There is also a landing strip for aircraft, a submersible watercraft, tractors and several large pieces of heavy equipment. It was kind of strange to walk through what once was a happening place and see things like dishes still sitting in the draining boards in the houses and lab equipment in the labs, like everyone had just stepped out for a minute. It seems like such a waste to see it all rusting away.
