SMALL ISLAND, HOLIDAY GETAWAY NG OWNER

Ang Just Room Enough Island ay nabili ng Sizeland family noong 1950s para gawing holiday getaway, ayon sa Condé Nast Traveler.

Una itong tinawag na Hub Island.

Para makunsiderang isla, kelangan na ang bahagi ng lupa o bato ay may sukat na at least one square foot. Kailangan ding ito ay "above water year round." Dapat ding mga nakatanim na kahit na isang puno.

Para naman makunsiderang inhabited island, kelangang may one-family structure.

Kaya nagpatayo ang Sizeland family ng cottage at nagtanim ng isang puno.

Matatanaw ito kapag sakay ng bangka sa Saint Lawrence River.
