Spectacle Island

Spectacle Island is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
Before the Great War, Spectacle Island was owned by a multi-millionaire who hoped to create an island paradise. The story behind the island is quite unique from many other settlements. The original settlers on the island had constructed a sonar pulse beacon that released a high pitched sonic pulse that was capable of repulsing or killing Mirelurks. The beacon is represented by a structure similar to a Siren or radio antennae connected by a long wire to a sunken ship. The ship's generator room is still operational and provides power for the beacon. The appearance of Raiders on the island suggests the Settlers were unprepared and were killed, the Raiders disabling the Pulse Beacon, looting the area and leaving, allowing the Mirelurks to return.

Obtain as settlement guide
To unlock the island for use as a settlement, the Sole Survivor must go to the sunken boat to the south and flip the switch on the circuit breaker. This will cause the screen to shake and a mirelurk queen and several hunters will emerge, as well as potentially a legendary mirelurk deep king. To finish the unlocking process, one must go back to the workshop and flip the circuit breaker on the radio tower. After a few seconds, this will send out a pulse which will drive all remaining mirelurks from the island to the shores. It is not necessary to kill the queen, as she is affected by this pulse as well. The workshop will then unlock, and one will be able to build at any point on the island.

Layout
The island has several buildings scattered across it (mostly shacks and ruined houses). The north side of the island contains several crafting stations in a small shed across from a destroyed house. The main workshop, along with a radio tower, is located in the center of the island. To the south is a destroyed boat containing the Luck bobblehead as well as a large power generator that connects to the radio tower through a series of pylons. Mirelurks populate the shores, as does the wreckage of several boats.

Notable loot

 * Fat Man in the half sunken boat on the southern tip of the island.
 * Luck bobblehead on the half sunken boat to the south, sitting in a locker.
 * Mini nuke on the ground floor of the destroyed house.
 * Signal checklist in a small shack in the Middle SE of the island. This describes the instructions regarding the island's most unique feature, a sonic pulse beacon that repulses Mirelurks.

Appearances
Spectacle Island only appears in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
Spectacle Island is a real island in Boston Harbor. Today, it is a part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area and features a public park, walking trails, etc.

Bugs
Even after turning the power generator on the circuit breaker still signifies that the power switch is off even though the tower pylons are lighting up and showing powered on.
