History

Bowditch Island was originally located on the Sage Ocean. In the middle of the eastern rock wall surrounding the forest in the middle bears the inscription reading "This island were fashioned by Belgarion."

Bowditch is named for navigation pioneer Nathaniel Bowditch.

There used to be shipyard shoppes entitled Chuck Farthing Circumbendibus and The Colonel, however, these have since dusted or been renamed.
