The Silver Drum got its name from an old legend: the islanders built the bridge unbelievably long, to which the baron said: "If I had decided to make this bridge of silver and given a shorter deadline, the costs would have been the same."
Hõbetrumm saanud oma nime sellest, et hiidlastel võttis selle ehitamine uskumatult kaua aega, mille peale parun öelnud: "Kui ma oleksin silla lasknud hõbedast, ja kiiresti valmis teha, oleks hind sama tulnud."
