A giant statue of the Egyptian goddess Taweret stood in its entirety on the shore of the Island. Jacob lived in a chamber in the statue's pedestal for an unknown amount of time, even after the statue's near total destruction in 1867 by a storm surge that propelled the Black Rock into the head of the statue, smashing it to pieces. The ship's impact preserved only the statue's left calf and foot with its distinctive four toes. The remains of the statue are within view of the Orchid station.
