Furthermore said erosion would uncover a ghastly secret. A home on the southwest side would wholly slip into the sea, and the main mansion already damaged from the blasts would collapse into itself. The isle itself, now without maintenance, would erode over time. With the devastation of the Great War ships and a barge would wreck on the shore of the isle. Spectacle Island later became home to a eccentric millionaire who dreamed of his own private island paradise. The earth moved in the project – which included the construction of the Interstate 90 tunnel to the Boston International Airport – was layered onto the island. The final increase in the size of the island began with the Big Dig, a former megaproject that rerouted the Central Artery of Interstate 93. However they were all later abandoned, and as time went on, the dumping of trash and dirt together with subsequent landscaping had resulted in a significant increase in the size and shape of the island. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several range lights were erected to help guide ships into the ever developing harbor. The former of which was active until 1935, afterword the city began simply dumping the trash onto the island. Specifically the city's garbage burning plant and a horse rendering factory was built. After the curtailing of the gambling and prostitution the island was developed as a dirty industrial area. Due to the island's relative remoteness to the city of Boston it was used initially for illicit activities.
