    I'd like to see a Jetsam island. Maybe it should be a smaller island or an extension of Flotsam Island like Dinky and Monkey Island.

    Historically, jetsam is marine debris that was intentionally put out to sea. So what would that be, anyway? An island of unwanted junk?

    ...actually, that would be pretty cool.

    My first reaction to this was "That's also what flotsam is." But I cast doubt on myself, and looked it up, and now I'm happy to know the difference between flotsam and jetsam. :D

    There is a technical difference between the two: jetsam has been voluntarily cast into the sea (jettisoned) by the crew of a ship, usually in order to lighten it in an emergency; while flotsam describes goods that are floating on the water without having been thrown in deliberately, often after a shipwreck.[1]

    So yeah, Jetsam as an unwanted island would be a fun complement to Flotsam as a broken junk island.
