Description

By the end of the 1700s, Micronesia had been intersected by three different trade routes. Established by British merchantmen, these paths also took ships past Ratak and Ralik, the two island chains of the Marshalls. With the advent of the fur trade, these lanes became heavily employed by cargo ships hauling pelts fromAmerica's northwestern coast to points south. The British Brig Nautilus, en route to Australia and China on just such a journey, sailed near the eastern edge of the Marshall Islands group. On that trip the crew sighted Maloelap, Erikub and Jemo, all located in the Ratak chain.
