Starve Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Starve Island is an island of the U.S. state of Ohio located in Lake Erie. The 2 acre (0.81 ha) island is about a mile (1.6 km) south of South Bass Island. In normal weather conditions it is visible for only a mile or two, as some rocks and a few shrubs poking up from the lake, and is the smallest of the Lake Erie Islands. The island can be seen from the Put-in-Bay monument.

It is said that the island gets its name from a sailor's fate upon the island following a shipwreck.
