The plant was moved to Spectacle Island during By , severe pollution from the Moon Island sewage outflow caused the closing of many of the clam beds and beaches in Boston Harbor and Quincy Bay. In , the pollution of Boston Harbor worsened to the point that all clams taken in the area required purification processing before sale or consumption.

Pollution on the Boston and Quincy beaches worsened. In , a legislature committee found that Quincy Bay and Hingham Harbor were "revolting" and "in violation of all public health requirements.
Tobin , dedicated the two-lane steel bridge from Moon Head to Long Island. In , the Boston Police Department established an outdoor pistol range on the southern side of Moon Island. A cache of stone blades were found on a Squantum beach in These artifacts belonged to the early Indians who lived in the Squantum area. The Moon Island sewage facility was still operating in , pumping about a million gallons of sewage into Boston Harbor.
The result was that Boston Harbor and Quincy Bay became severely polluted. With the opening of the Deer Island sewage treatment plant in , the discharge of sewage from the Moon Island facility was put on emergency standby status and the flow of the sewage to Moon Island was diverted to Deer Island. Also during this year, the skeleton of a dog was found below a heap of shells in Squantum.

The dog's remains were carbon dated to AD. The remains of a few native Indians have also been discovered nearby. The sachem Chickataubut had his summer home at Moswetuset Hummock in the early 17th century. In , federal and state laws mandated primary and secondary treatment for all municipal sewer systems, effectively taking the option for lesser treatment plants away from states. In , due to the extensive pollution on Quincy's beaches, the City of Quincy filed a lawsuit in state court against the MDC. Judge Troy made a judicial decision that prohibited the attachment of any new buildings or homes to the existing sewer system until a plan was established to solve the sewerage overflow problem in Boston Harbor.
Because these systems were below federal standards, a federal court order mandated the construction of a new waste water treatment plant on Deer Island. In , National Guard bulldozers, with little public notice, began clearing the woods on Moon Island for a firing range that was planned to have lights for night shooting. Outraged local Squantum residents feared that the increased shooting on Moon Island would endanger them or even passing boat operators. The Seaside Environmental Alliance claimed the Boston Plan was a ruse, indicating that this expansion would affect the plans for any use of Moon Island by the general public.
The public continues to be banned from both Moon and Long Islands. In , the Boston Globe reported that Mayor Tom Menino and MIT engineer Clifford Goudey were planning a program to revitalize the aquaculture system in Boston Harbor and use the great tanks on Moon Island as a fish farm or a temporary home for tuna or lobster. The plan was to collect and store fish in the tanks and sell the fish at higher prices when they were out of season. Nothing has come of this plan to date. Today, Moon Island remains closed to the general public and is still owned by the City of Boston. With the cessation of sewage discharge, the waters around the island have become a prime fishing resource.

However, access is limited to private boat. The lagoon on the northwest of Moon Island formed by the Moon Island causeway, Squantum and Thompson Island has become an anchorage for private boats, providing protection from the boat wakes in Dorchester Bay and Western Way. All land on Moon Island is owned by the City of Boston, but the island is under the jurisdiction of Quincy.

Retrieved July 27, With the city's skyline in the distance, they stood beside one of four long trenches on Moon Island that may soon be teeming with lobsters, bluefin tuna and summer flounder. For nearly two years, Mayor Thomas M. Now they are wedded to a plan. Together, they are trying to turn the century-old sewage trenches on the harbor island into one of the largest fish farms in the country.

Namespaces Article Talk. Arthur C. Clarke introduced readers to it in his science-fiction novel, A Fall of Moondust. In this futuristic story, drama unfolds as the lunar tourist cruiser Selene sinks 50 feet 15 meters into a sea of moondust after the collapse of an underground cavern the ship traveled over. While the passengers and crew await rescue, Mr. Radley a New Zealand accountant who believes "saucerites" are after him admits that he came to the Moon disguised as a tourist to find evidence of O'Neill's Bridge.
Radley recounts how an American astronomer named O'Neill discovered an artificial bridge on the rim of Mare Crisium. Within a few years, however, it had vanished. Obviously, our interest had alarmed the saucer people, and they had dismantled it. In fact, observers today still have fun using their telescopes to sail the western shores of Mare Crisium in search of the mysterious lunar feature that once haunted the minds of astronomers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Mind games On the morning of July 29, , John J. O'Neill, science editor for the New York Herald Tribune , turned his 4-inch refractor to the Moon and began surveying Mare Crisium's western rim at 90x.
The Moon As We Know It
A low Sun lit up the region's lofty peaks, which stood like islands in a black sea of shadow. But O'Neill's attention turned to a small fan of light that breached the surrounding darkness. It emerged from a tiny gap between the tips of two lunar headlands: Promontorium Olivium and Promontorium Lavinium. Curious, he increased the magnification to x, then to x. At that higher power, something remarkable snapped into view: a "gigantic natural bridge" arcing over the gap like one of those stone marvels of the American Southwest.
Spanning about 12 miles 19 kilometers in length, however, O'Neill's Bridge would have dwarfed any of Earth's natural arches, the most prominent of them spanning less than feet 92 meters. After 90 minutes of observing, O'Neill became convinced of his discovery. After alerting other observers, confirmations soon began to trickle in. Wilkins saw not only the arch with sunlight streaming beneath it, but also the bridge's shadow on the surrounding lunar terrain. It was, beyond a shadow of a doubt excuse the pun , real.
Utter lunacy In a British Broadcasting Corporation radio interview on December 23, , Wilkins shared his observations with listeners. It's been confirmed by other observers. It looks artificial.
