Merger looks reasonable to me; the description at National Register of Historic Places listings in Salem, Massachusetts seems to indicate that it's the entirety of the island, and the area of 45 acres looks entirely reasonable for the area of the island or virtually all of it.

The entire peninsula is listed as Winter Island Historic District and Archeological District on the National Register of Historic Places. Fort Pickering (Winter Island) Light is a part of the district.

I copied the relevant portion of the USGS topo into AutoCAD, scaled it, and used AutoCAD's excellent area tool to measure the island's area to the high tide line, which turns out to be about 44 acres. Since the HD/AD is 45 acres, it's certainly safe to assume that the district is all, or essentially all, of the island, although I did not quite say that in the text of the article.. . . .
