Clarification[edit]It is highly unlikely that Smooth Island (Garden Island) was the site of construction of the ship in this reference[3] References
For further research[edit]In The LIST[1], overlay Land District Chart [2] suggests that several individuals 'may' have had licences on Garden Island (although, the map may be instead referring to to northern point of Chronicle Point). The map information is: "Lic 923" or "Lic 925" P.C.M Hall & L.R. Squaire ...Lic no 2931 J.A. Ettershank".
A "James Quested" acquired land in county of Pembroke in 1843. It is uncertain whether this is Garden Island or not.[4] - Have only seen a Snippet view of this:
Does this add anything new (I can't remember it)[6]

[edit]Notice: Article title
[edit]As seen in the disambiguation page (Smooth Island), there are islands named "Smooth Island" within both Tasmania as well as South Australia.
The content of History of Smooth Island (Tasmania) and Smooth Island (Tasmania) are tightly linked, so their placename conventions must be WP:CONSISTENT.
As per WP:PLACEDAB:
- Disambiguation of Smooth Island (Tasmania) from Smooth Island is warranted.
- Disambiguation of History of Smooth Island (Tasmania) from History of Smooth Island is warranted.
However, Australian placename conventions have been a highly contentious matter which lacks community consensus, despite having been extensively discussed for over 10 years.[[1]]. Vitreology talk 06:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
