The Keelhauler Gazette was the local paper of Flotsam Island. Its senior reporter was Davey Nipperkin, though some of his stories came from a mysterious source called Deep Gut. The papers main rival was The Flotsam Times. A headline on Guybrush Threepwoods arrival was "WIND STILL SUCKS - Flotsam Island endures 1138th straight day of unwelcome winds."
