In 1998 I wrote a short story about a sailboat crew that mostly takes place up on Dauphin(e) Island. When I first wrote it, I believed the Island's name had an 'e' on the end. A few days ago I revisited the story and looked up the Island on the Internet and it seems the 'e' is not part of the name. The only hit with the 'e' is the Isle of Dauphine Gold Club.
My question is, if you don't mind, has the 'e' officially been dropped from the name, or am I mistaken that it once was part of the name?
I appreciate your help clearing up this mystery for me.
