Ric, if I were a billionaire, I'd get you there to check it out. I'd also have rented the deep submersibles. Alas...........

I keep hoping the wheel reappears when someone is there to see it, and hopefully recover it. It's an ironic situation. Google Earth gives us excellent satellite-view updates every few years, but if something interesting were to show up it would take hundreds of thousands of dollars to check it out. |

No apologies necessary. The sea giveth and the sea taketh away. Always worth checking.
The object you point out is not a new arrival. It has been in that position since at least 2012. I think it's the thing in the foreground of the photo below taken in 2001. We've walked past it many times. |

First I want to apologize for being the latest crazy person to think he has seen something in google maps but I was looking at Nikumaroro in google maps and saw something odd near the Norwich City wreck, likely it is just a random piece of junk but I would be interested in what others see. I have attached a larger view which includes the Norwich City and then a zoomed view of the object.

I think what they meant to say is that, because of its closeness to the International Date Line, when the day ends at Howland and Baker, it's pretty much end-of-day everywhere.
From Wikipedia about Anywhere on Earth (AoE): "For any given date, the latest place on Earth where it would be valid is on Howland and Baker Islands, in the IDLW time zone (the Western Hemisphere side of the International Date Line). Therefore, the day ends AoE when it ends on Howland Island." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth Also: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe#:~:text=Anywhere%20on%20Earth%20%E2%80%93%20AoE%20Time%20Zone%20(Standard%20Time)&text=Currently%20has%20same%20time%20zone,during%20standard%20time%20in%3A%20Pacific. |

"This would be easy enough to understand were it not for the fact that the day finishes at different points depending on where you are in the world. To clarify, businesses set the deadline as 'End of Day, Anywhere on Earth', meaning when the clock turns to 00:00 on Howland and Baker."
Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see how "End of Day, Anywhere on Earth" means when the clock turns to 00:00 on Howland and Baker. Howland and Baker are in a time zone just like everywhere else. |

Howland and Baker Islands are in their own time zone, apparently

Well, there went several hours of my time. I think I read most of her articles.
Interesting to see her report of TIGHAR's expeditions to Newfoundland. Also interesting to see what else was happening in aviation in Newfoundland in 1927, including involving other contenders for the Orteig prize. Don W. |
