The home page of this site says "Number of Islands=253". That number comes from this page on Bizer's site:
http://www.bizer.com/winislan.htm. I have never seen any substantiation of the 274 and 365 numbers that you see and hear frequently. Many years ago during a Mount Washington cruise they announced that there were "365 islands, one for each day of the year". I asked one of the bridge crew where that number came from and they weren't sure. I assume it may be just folklore.
