Maria Theresa Reef - 10 phantom island (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
South Pacific (south of French Tuamotu islands and east of New Zealand) Maria-Theresa Reef was reported on 16 November 1843 by a Captain Asaph P. Taber (not "Tabor") of the Maria-Theresa, a New Bedford, Massachusetts, whaler, to be is situated at 37°00'S, 151°13'W. It was unsucessfully searched for in 1957. In 1983, the position of the reef was recalculated at 36°50'S, 136°39'W and searched for, but not found. Its existence is doubtful. It may well be a phantom island.On French maps, this reef was mentioned as "Tabor reef". Under this name, it appears in Jules Verne's novel "The Mysterious Island". As for now, it's missing from some maps and is present on others, so its current state is not verified.
