Whale Island Drill Ground Grows From Mud Bank History
Whale Island in Portsmouth began as a mud bank revealed at low tide. Earth from dockyard excavations formed the island, later expanded by a railway and rapid fill. By 1860 the Admiralty made it a drill ground with a warrant officer residence. Now about 37 acres, it houses over 1,800 seamen. Charles Humphrey, patient at St Mary’s Hospital, Cincinnati, killed himself with a penknife stabbing thirteen times, the final blow to the heart.
