Английская Википедия:Fenua Tapu
Fenua Tapu is an islet of Nui atoll in the Pacific Ocean state of Tuvalu.[1][2]
It is the most southern and most eastern islet of Nui and is the largest (area 1.38 km2). Most Nuians live on the western end of Fenua Tapu,[3] where a village including the settlements of Alamoni - Maiaki and Manutalake - Meang (Tanrake) lies.[4]
A Dutch expedition (the frigate Maria Reigersberg[5]) found Nui on the morning of June 14, 1825 and named Fenua Tapu as Nederlandsch Eiland.[6]
A New Island in the Pacific.— In July last, the Pollux, Dutch sloop of war, Captain Eeg, discovered a new and well-peopled island in the Pacific, to which the name of Nederlandich Island was given : its latitude and longitude laid down at 7° 10' S., and 177° 33' 16" E. from Greenwich. The natives were athletic and fierce, great thieves, and, from their shewing no symptoms of fear when muskets were discharged, evidently unacquainted with the effects of fire-arms.[7]
