Government Cut splits the barrier island and makes Fisher Island
1905
Miami Beach, Florida
Until 1905 the sand ran unbroken from what is now South Beach down past what is now Fisher Island, and ships bound for the Miami River had to go the long way round Cape Florida. Congress authorised a channel cut straight through the peninsula. The dredging gave the port a direct route to the Atlantic and left the southern tip stranded as a separate island.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
