500 metres west of the southern
tip of Slave Island in Western Bay is a small island
called Twin Rocks, or Marzuk Kabir. A local
legend suggests this is where Noah's Ark
was built. This island never
appears to have been built on but a map
dated in the 1960's shows a jetty on the
southern side

Twin Rocks

To the southwest of Twin Rocks, Jerama Rock was a very small outcrop
located just 200 metres off Hedjuff,
outside French Bay. It does not appear
on recent satellite images so one might
assume it was removed as a shipping
hazard.
Round Island or Denafah as
it was known locally, is in Round Island Bay on the
southern side of the crater some 150 metres from shore.
Nothing is presently known of the history of this small
island.
An article in a Naturalist
magazine says Aliyah Reef in Western Bay was the site of
the old cholera quarantine station.
