The Armchair Navigator III
Part 3 in a series of essays providing supplements and corrections to what is currently known about the post-Spanish discoveries of the Pacific islands. Just for the fun of it. In this issue: - The stranding of whaler "Mary" of London on Jarvis Island (United States Minor Outlying Islands) - A summary of (re-)discoveries of the Wake and Johnston Atolls. - Antipodes Island, probably discovered in 1799 (thus prior to Capt. Henry Waterhouse's sighting in 1800) - The 1810 rediscovery of Flint Island (Line Islands, Kiribati) by Capt. Obed Chase. - The conjectured route of the 1801-1802 voyage of ship "Venus" of Port Jackson, Capts. Charles Bishop & George Bass (during which trip Bass discovers Mauke in the Cook Islands archipelago and Marotiri, part of the Austral Islands of French Polynesia.)
