About
Wood Island (also called Inner Wood Island) is an island located in the Grand Manan archipelago, in the Bay of Fundy of New Brunswick, Canada. It is distinct from its eastern neighbour Little Wood, or Outer Wood Island. Once home to hundreds of fishing families, it has been abandoned since the 1950s.
At its heyday in the 1950s, it housed a one-room schoolhouse, and a post office since at least 1926. The schoolhouse still stands, converted with solar panels and propane to a private summer cottage. The Reformed Baptist church was the only building with electricity, boasting its own generator.
