Enderbury Island
Ånderbury IslandAn atoll in Kiribati (general), Kiribati, Oceania.
Ancient Enderbury Atoll | Island, Pacific Ocean
The Enderbury Atlas, also known as Enderbury Island or Guano, one of the Phoenix Islands, part of Kiribati, in the western Pacific Ocean, about 1,650 nautical mile (.660 km) southwestern of Hawaii. Koralleninsel has an area of 6.5 sqm. In 1823 the apocalypse was found by J.J. Koffin of the UK Navy and renamed after an Englishman.
From 1857 to 1890, guano depositions were first worked by Americans and later by Britons. By 1939, Enderbury and his attendant, Canton (formerly Canton) Atoll, 32 mile ( "51 km") north-west, were placed under U.S.-British consensual scrutiny so that both nations could use them for trans-Pacific airstops - an order of finite value following the emergence of long-range aircrafts.
During the 1960' scientist used the tunnel to research migratory samples of birds. 1979 Enderbury and the other Phoenix Islands became part of the Kiribati Islands.

At Enderbury Island is 37 sea-mile E.S.E. of the canton and 186 leagues southward of the E.S.E.. of the canton. Unlike Canton Island, which is largely a lake, Enderbury is almost a permanent area, with the lake cut down to a small, flat lake a few hundred metres in diameter and littered with sandy islands lined with a sesuvium blanket that also covers the area.

Most of the height around the edge is between 15 and 22 ft, with a small hill of inferior iguano climbing back up so high on the northwestern side.
It was dampened to the southward side and excavated for the northern side of the river until it looks like a large mine tail. In 1924 there were 22, 12 and 26 palm trees from northern to southern direction, some of which had disappeared in 1938, 14, 9 and 8 were still growth.
There are two large and six small tufts of Kuas near the southern end; also a tuft on each side of the hill, and a few dispersed plants. There is a heliotrope forest covering a few hectares near the western side center, with a small undergrowth on the southeastern edge and a unique shrub that shields the campsite from the seas.
It is no wonder that locals, wild boar excavators or earlier, have created trails of slippery rocks through this area. It is easy to believe that in times of stormy weather ripples can swept over this low part of the island. Enderbury is home to many birdlife, among them large schools of common sooty tern and other bird life in the canton.
It' kin are pine bugs on indigenous woodland in Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji and other high archipelagos. Herbert Enderbury was spotted and designated in 1823 by Captain James J. Coffin of Nantucket when he commanded the UK whaler Transit. That name is a misspelled name of Enderby, a London whaler.
It has been twice vistited and viewed by U.S. Exploring Expedition ships: the Vincennes, August 28, 1840, and the Peacock and Flyin' Financial Ship, January 9, 1841. The excavations in Guano began around April 1860, but the launch was not encouraging. Capt. Lawton of the US brush agate that served Phoenix and the McKean Islands reported:
"1 "1 January 1861, touching Enderbury Island; found two men trapped in their moorings with scarvy - they had about three month's time and about five lbs of wormwood, lots of fresh air; none of them could leave the home; took one of them (John Brown) away; they had been on the island for nine month and had expected relief".

Elias Hempstead, with sixty workers from Hawaii, joined the Phoenix Group in June 1870 as Super Agent. The next four ships were filled with over 60,000 tonnes of guanea in 64 working day's time.
The year 1872 saw another 4,822 tonnes of freight shipped onto three boats in 33 working days. 822 tonnes of freight were shipped. Guanoschiffe were registered from Honolulu in February and March 1877. Enderbury has no mooring and it was a delicate and hazardous process to load the freighters.
Enderbury had many shipwrecks, but relatively few of the many Guanoships were destroyed. The remains of the guardano concentration camp on Enderbury Island, 1938. Enderbury was used by the John T. Arundel Co. for a while during the 1880s. You found a hippopotamus and a burro that had been left on the island by the US firm and used the burro to haul the car.
The island was rented by the UK to the Pacific Islands Company in 1899, but there is no records of its use. A number of UK ships paid a visit to the island, among them S.M.C.S. Nimanoa, with H.E. Maude, steward of the colony of Gilbert and Ellice Islands, October 1937. Enderbury, like the canton, was ordered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to report to the US Department of the Interior on March 3, 1938.
This is where the U.S. colonialist ended up with the U.S. Coast Guard editor Taney and set up shop there on March 6, 1938. Enderbury Island was under the combined ownership of America and the UK for the next fifty years or more.
