Geschichte

Der US-amerikanische Kapitän Edmund Fanning entdeckte das Atoll am 13. Juni 1798. Der Legende nach rettete eine nächtliche Vorahnung des Kapitäns das Schiff vor dem Stranden. Nur vier Jahre später strandete der ebenfalls aus den USA stammende Kapitän Sawle mit seinem Schiff, der "Palmyra", am Riff des bis dahin unbenannten Atolls.

"Palmyra" was first sighted in 1798 by captain Edmund Fanning of Stonington, Connecticut, master of the American merchant ship Betsy, on a voyage to Asia. Fanning had woken three times during the night before. After the third time, he took it as a premonition, and he ordered Betsy to heave to for the rest of the night. The next morning, Betsy resumed sailing, but only about a nautical mile further on, she reached the reef of Palmyra. Had the ship continued on her course at night, the ship might have been wrecked. On November 7, 1802, USS Palmyra under Captain Sawle was shipwrecked on the reef, which was given the name of this vessel.
