HISTORY
Evergreen Island (Cid Harbour)
In 1866 Commander G. S. Nares, RN, in HMS Salamander issued
a set of sailing directions for the northern Whitsunday area and therein
Evergreen Island was a name for today's Ross Islet in Cid
Harbour. However, while the islet was shown on Nares' survey chart,
the name never did appear on his or subsequent charts. The name 'Ross Islet' was
given in 1932.
