Big Bone Island existed until the mid 1980s. A large spring flood washed away all the dirt and silt, most of it was deposited downriver at the mouth of Goose Creek and in front of the Patriot, Indiana boat launching ramp. For a number of years the remains of the trees that grew on the island were visible and the Coast Guard placed buoys to warn boaters. Over time all traces of Big Bone Island have disappeared and the buoys are now gone.

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or links:
“Many are poets but without the name,
For what is poesy but to create
From overfeeling good or ill; and aim
At an external life beyond our fate,
And be the new Prometheus of new men.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Ibsen is like this room where we are sitting, with all the tables and chairs. Do I care whether you have twenty or twenty-five links on your chain? Hedda Gabler, Nora and the rest: it is not that I want! I want Rome and the Coliseum, the Acropolis, Athens; I want beauty, and the flame of life.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
