There are three minor land masses in the gulf to the west of the main island. Two lie close to the northern shore of the south-most peninsula and are seperated by shallow straits from the mainland. The third is considerably larger and extends well over 50 units along its main axis and more than 10 at its waist.

The Large Island

During the early period of exploration and mapping, this islet or island became the subject of some contention when two seperate groups or clans both claimed naming rights.

The Discordian Cargo Cult were the first to announce a name for this land, calling it La Islet Bonobo. Their explorers had noted the similarity between Shartak and Hispaniola and hence expected an analogue to the island La Gonâve. They laid claim to the area on their clan page on <date needed> and formally named it on <date needed>.

This claim was contested, however, by the Royal Expedition. One of their members had reached the island on 26 February and a second joined him on 22 March. The majority of the island was added to the Shartak UBER MAP as a result of their efforts, shortly thereafter. Discussion of a suitable name was underway without having reached a resolution when the proclaimation of the DCC precipitated a reaction. On 3 May the RE declared the land to be called Shark Island.

At the time of writing both parties hotly contest the claims of the other.
