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 ships 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.

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 islands most unique feature, a sonic pulse beacon that repulses Mirelurks.
 * Vault-Tec lab coat inside a suitcase beneath sand debris in front of the main boat.

Appearances
Spectacle Island only appears in Fallout 4.
