John Fearn (whaler) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Fearn (whaler)
John Fearn (fl. 1798) was an English whaling ship captain, notable as the first European to discover the Pacific island of Nauru, which is now a sovereign republic.〔multiple authors and consultors, Dorling Kindersley, ''History'' (original title), ISBN 978-989-550-607-1〕 ''Note'': ''He has frequently been confused with John Fearn (philosopher) (1768-1837), a British philosopher who had spent some years as an officer in the Royal Navy''. John Fearn discovered Nauru on 8 November 1798,〔 while travelling with his whaling ship ''Hunter'' from New Zealand to China.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-15433901 )〕 He named it ''Pleasant Island'' due to its attractive environment and the friendly nature of the Nauruans. Fearn was commemorated on the obverse of a $10 Nauruan coin.〔http://www.janeresture.com/nauru_home/index.htm〕 == References ==
