aug 12, 1818 - 1817 Admiralty Chart of the Indian Ocean
Description:
The 1817 Admiralty Chart of the Indian Ocean was created by Louis L. Delarouchette and was published on the twelfth of August in 1818 by W. Faden in London, England. This chart of the Indian Ocean is the first and only appearance of the phabtom islands of Gama, Turtle, Londons, and Candy. They were included in the Archipelago of the Chagos, Ady, and Candu Islands, an island chain that could have been the British Indian Ocean Territory. Very little is known about these islands but reports speculate that they were placed in as a copyright trap.Added to timeline:
