Deadman's Island is a small island in the estuary of the River Medway in Kent, United Kingdom close to where The Swale flows into the Medway. It is a flat, raised area of marshland around 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) long and 200 metres (660 ft) wide among the tidal sand banks on the southern side of the estuary and separated from the British mainland of by a narrow channel known as Shepherd's Creek. The town of Queenborough lies around one kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east across the West Swale channel. The island is crossed by several narrow tidal channels that mean that at high tide the island is separated into several smaller islands.

- Isla del Hombre Muerto (en inglés: Deadman's Island) es una pequeña isla en el estuario del río Medway en Kent, Reino Unido cerca de donde fluye el canal en el Medway. Es un área plana y elevada de marismas de alrededor de 1200 m de largo y 200 m de ancho entre los bancos de arena de las mareas en el lado sur del estuario, y separada del continente británico de por un estrecho canal conocido como Shepherd's Creek. La ciudad de Queenborough se encuentra alrededor de 1 km al este a través del canal West Swale. La isla está atravesada por varios canales de marea estrechos, lo que significa que durante la marea alta la isla se divide en varias islas más pequeñas. (es)

| - Deadman's Island is a small island in the estuary of the River Medway in Kent, United Kingdom close to where The Swale flows into the Medway. It is a flat, raised area of marshland around 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) long and 200 metres (660 ft) wide among the tidal sand banks on the southern side of the estuary and separated from the British mainland of by a narrow channel known as Shepherd's Creek. The town of Queenborough lies around one kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east across the West Swale channel. The island is crossed by several narrow tidal channels that mean that at high tide the island is separated into several smaller islands. The island consists primarily of mudbanks and is uninhabited. Owned by Natural England, it is leased to two people, and is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its importance as a nesting and breeding site for birds. In 2016 the remains of more than 200 humans were found on the island. It is believed that the remains are those of men and boys who died of disease on board prison hulks, floating prisons that were moored in the area around 200 years ago. Originally buried in wooden coffins under six feet (1.8 m) of mud, coastal erosion and rising sea levels has washed away the mud to expose the remains at times of low tide. The island is marked with wooden posts across it, though these are probably to help identify the island and prevent erosion and not grave markers as sometimes claimed. (en)
- Isla del Hombre Muerto (en inglés: Deadman's Island) es una pequeña isla en el estuario del río Medway en Kent, Reino Unido cerca de donde fluye el canal en el Medway. Es un área plana y elevada de marismas de alrededor de 1200 m de largo y 200 m de ancho entre los bancos de arena de las mareas en el lado sur del estuario, y separada del continente británico de por un estrecho canal conocido como Shepherd's Creek. La ciudad de Queenborough se encuentra alrededor de 1 km al este a través del canal West Swale. La isla está atravesada por varios canales de marea estrechos, lo que significa que durante la marea alta la isla se divide en varias islas más pequeñas. La isla se compone principalmente de bancos de barro y está deshabitada. Propiedad de Natural England, se alquila a dos personas y también es un Sitio de especial interés científico (SEIC) debido a su importancia como lugar de anidación y reproducción de aves. En 2016 se encontraron los restos de más de 200 humanos en la isla. Se cree que los restos son de hombres y niños que murieron de alguna enfermedad a bordo de los barco prisión, que consistían en cárceles flotantes que estaban amarradas en la zona hace unos 200 años. Originalmente enterrado en ataúdes de madera bajo dos metros de lodo, la erosión costera y el aumento del nivel del mar han lavado el lodo para exponer los restos en épocas de marea baja. La isla está marcada con postes de madera a lo largo de ella, aunque probablemente estos sean para ayudar a identificar la isla y evitar la erosión, no son marcadores de tumbas como a veces se afirma.
