As Warren Hatheway was unsuccessful in his bid to be granted Bar Island off the northern shore of Deer Island against the wishes of Thomas Farrell, between 1810-1817 he was awarded a grant of six small nearby islets including Hardwood Island, Popes Island, Nubble Island, Dinner Island Simpsons Island and Fish Island.[5][6][7][8]
There is a seven-fathom patch between Pope's and Chocolate Cove.[9]
In 1832, commissioner of Crown Lands Thomas Baillie wrote that the island had "very little value".[10]
In December 1985, a study by Parks Canada assessed the island's value as $3,600.[1]
