All good things come in three! Including these charming triplet turtles.
Anyone who visits the island knows how sacred turtles are to the islanders. While you won't find any sunbathing on our rocky beaches, the turtle holds great symbolism. Native legends claims the island was formed on the back of an old, wise turtle named Makinauk. After many unsuccessful attempts to retrieve soil from the bottom of Lake Huron, the smallest of them all, a mink, is the one to retrieve the soil and place it on his back creating Mackinac Island.
Three handmade turtles made by Mackinac Island's silversmith, Frank Bloswick. With 'Mackinac' inscribed on each of the turtles, this will be a keepsake for years to come!
