History
During the Dirty Deeds administration the shipyard Steel Ships was dusted and replaced with an iron monger.
Basset Island is possibly named for a defunct card game once popular in France.
A rock to the north, next to the snow reads, "This island were fashioned by Jezabella."
The island was featured in the 2008 Halloween events — during the event, pirates who visited the island would be turned into skellies, and it contained the second hint for solving Vargas the Mad's riddle.
