Sgrìobh Victor Hugo a bha a’ fuireach ann an Guernsey anns an leabhar The Laughing Man (L'Homme qui Rit) mu Les Casquets:

"To be wrecked on the Casquets is to be cut into ribbons; to strike on the Ortac is to be crushed into powder... On a straight frontage, such of that of the Ortac, neither the wave nor the cannon ball can ricochet... if the wave carries the vessel on the rock she breaks on it, and is lost..."
