Unraveling the Legend
Prisoner Rock: Behind the Name
Trinidad Harbor boasts a unique rock formation located at the edge of the Bay named “Prisoner Rock“. According to local folklore, this particular sea stack is believed to have been utilized by the community during the 1880s as an overnight holding area for inebriated locals.
Alternatively, “Prisoner Rock” may have been named by local fishermen who found themselves stranded on the little island when high tides cut off their return to shore.
Whatever the history, Prisoner Rock is legendary. Just like Prisoner Rock Charters!
