Скачать или смотреть Investigating an Unknown Phantom Island in the Pacific... Walker Island

In the mid 1800s, an island started popping up on maps in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. However, when people started looking for it, it was nowhere to be found. In this video, I use old newspapers and primary sources to start to uncover the truth and history behind Walker, or Low Woody Island.

It was thought to be at around 4 degrees North and 151 degrees West, and may have been confused with modern-day Washington/Teraina Island, which is almost exactly 10 degrees West of Walker Island's location. It appears that Captain Walker was the first to spot it, and he told Mr. John Purdy, which was put into Krusenstern's supplement from the early 1800s.
