About Washington Island:
The Washington Island Ferry will take you across "Death's Door", named for its ability to swallow ships in the 1800s, and safely to Washington Island. The Island, founded in 1865 by Scandinavian settlers, was discovered to have American Indians inhabiting the island. Death's Door shipwrecks are easy to locate around the island and provide many diving and snorkeling opportunities. Washington Island is located six miles off of the tip of the Door County Peninsula. It is a favorite Midwest destination for tourists year-round.
