I'm not so sure that you got that one correct Cell...
The [B]island may have been named after Fire Island Inlet, which appeared on a deed in 1789, and the inlet's name may have started as a simple spelling error. The number of inlet islands has varied over time, and it is likely that “five” or the Dutch word “vier,” meaning four, was misspelled on early maps as “fire.” [/B]
I like the pirate version best ..... goes best with Cell's picture. :geek:
Originally, the Native Americans called the Island "Sictem Hackey," or “Land of the Secatogues” (the name of the tribe located in Bay Shore, New York). One historian has suggested that its current name comes from a corruption of the Dutch

***word “vijf,” (“five”) or “vier” (“four”), referring to the number of islands near the Fire Island inlet.
Others say its name comes from the fires built along the sea’s edge by pirates intent on luring ships to their destruction along the shallow sandbars for looting and pillaging. The stories just get stranger from here, with some suggesting that the name comes from the fiery-looking foliage in autumn and others insisting (with a straight face) that the name comes from the “burning” rash people get from the Island’s abundant poison ivy (ouch!). * **

Ah, missed the pictures Cell took of the wreck of Belushi's Raging Queen where "Manly men visited manly ports in manly fashion.". FI was one of their ports of call IIRC.
If you've forgotten that classic sketch, or are too young to have ever seen it, it's here at 13:10, but this is a funky copy, it's a mirror image. Done in 1979 it's probably not 2019 PC, not that there's anything wrong with that. So enjoy the adventures of Captain Ned and the crew of the Raging Queen...
