| dbo:abstract | Black Boy Island is an uninhabited island in the River Thames in England between the villages of Medmenham, Buckinghamshire and Hurley, Berkshire. It is situated alongside the small hamlet of Frogmill, on the southern side of the stretch of river above Hurley Lock, and is within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead unitary authority. The island is very low-lying, such that it is covered with water whenever the Thames floods. It is now heavily wooded, but up until the 1920s it and the adjacent Frog Mill Ait were without vegetation. This was because the towpath was (and still is) on the southern side of the island whilst the boats being towed along by horses had to keep to the main navigation channel on the northern side of the river. The tow lines had to sweep over the islands, and the angle of tow was such that barges could be pulled aground onto the islands. (en) Black Boy Island ist eine Insel in der Themse in England zwischen den Orten in Buckinghamshire und in Berkshire. Die Insel liegt flussaufwärts des Hurley Lock und gehört zu Berkshire. Die Insel soll nach Charles II benannt sein, der als Kind so dunkel war, dass seine Mutter ihn Black Boy nannte. Black Boy Island und die angrenzende Frog Mill Ait waren ein Problem für die Schifffahrt, da der Leinpfad vom Hauptschifffahrtskanal aus gesehen jenseits der Insel verlief und die Seile über die Insel gezogen werden mussten, was dazu führte, dass Boote ans Ufer gezogen wurden. Der Name Poisson Deux ist mit der Umgebung verbunden, und man nimmt an, dass er von den Fischreusen, die hier im Fluss befestigt waren, stammt. (de) |
