Swinburne Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (201 words)
Swinburne Island is the smaller of two artificial islands located in the Lower New York Bay (the other being Hoffman Island) that were used to quarantine immigrants to the U.S. that were found to have been carrying contagious diseases upon arrival at Ellis Island.
The island is of artificial origin, and was originally called Dix Island, but was renamed in honor of Dr. John Swinburne (May 30, 1820-April 4, 1889), a noted military surgeon during the American Civil War.
The island is now managed by the National Park Service as part of the Staten Island Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area.
