Great Cranberry
Great Cranberry is the largest island in the Cranberry Isles, with just over 1000 acres, but it has a smaller population than the village of Islesford on Little Cranberry Island. Approximately 40 year-round residents live on Great Cranberry Island, or “Cranberry,” predominantly working in various construction trades or at one of the island’s two boatyards that store, repair and build boats.
