Spinnaker Island (formerly known as Park Island, Hog Island, and Little Hog Island) is an island in the Hingham Bay area of Boston Harbor in Massachusetts, USA.

Jan 16, 2025 · Just beyond Point Allerton, sits one of the "Hog Islands" of the Boston Harbor. The almost ten-acre former island has been connected to the mainland via a causeway since the 1980s, when a private developer purchased the island and renamed it Spinnaker Island.

Sep 7, 2015 · Once known as Hog Island, the island now known as Spinnaker Island lies south of Point Allerton, Hull in the Northern section of Hingham Bay. Today, the island is connected to the mainland via a long causeway.

The land for Fort Duvall was acquired in 1917, and comprised the entire 9.45 acres of what was at that time known as Hog Island, lying in Hull Bay, just south of the western "forearm" of the Nantasket Peninsula (and Fort Revere).

Fort Duvall[1] was a Coast Artillery fort, part of the Harbor Defenses of Boston, in Massachusetts. What was then called Hog Island in Hull, Massachusetts was acquired by the U.S. government in 1917, and the fort was constructed in the early 1920s.

Located on Little Hog Island in Hingham Bay (near the resort community of Nantasket) and in North Weymouth, less than 15 miles southeast of Boston, this site lasted until 1974 as a Mass ARNG Hercules site.

Hidden in Hull's bay is Hog Island, now known as Spinnaker Island. Hog Island was home to Hull's first high school, as well as Fort Duvall before WWII, and a Nike missile site during the Cold War. Parts of the island sat very low and fill was brought in to prevent flooding.
