The field named Rocket Post Field is the spot where shipwrecked, marooned sailors were rescued by an ingenious pulley system. Ropes were attached to a rocket and fed through a pulley system secured to a post. The rocket was fired towards the hapless sailors and with a bit of luck they were winched to safety.
