History
Basset Island was originally located on the Sage Ocean. A rock to the north, next to the snow reads, "This island were fashioned by Jezabella."

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.

The island was featured in the 2008 Halloween events &mdash; 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.
