This quarry was "in the town of Vinalhaven, in the southeastern part of Hurricane Island." The operator was the Hurricane Isle Quarries Co. of Rockland, Maine. The granite from the quarry was reportedly a pinkish-buff medium-gray color with a coarse texture.
The Hurricane Island Quarry was opened about 1876. In 1905 the quarry measured "500 feet along the rift and had an average width of 150 feet. The quarry was on the south side of a ridge 100 feet high with a west-northwest axis. The greatest depth of working face was 105 feet and its average about 50 feet." Transport of the granite was by track 400 feet to the dock. At the time of the report, the quarry was abandoned.
The granite from the Hurricane Island Quarry was used for both buildings and monuments. Waste goes into paving blocks. The following are examples built from the granite from this quarry: the Suffolk County courthouse, Boston, Massachusetts; St. Louis post office and customhouse; two buildings for the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.
