Oroluk Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Oroluk Island
Oroluk Island is one of the islets of Oroluk Atoll, part of the State of Pohnpei (Federated States of Micronesia). Oroluk is currently uninhabited and is 0.13 km² in size. It was formerly inhabited. The main industry was agriculture and fishing. ==History== The Oroluk Atoll was discovered by Spanish navigator Alonso de Arellano in 1565 on board of the patache ''San Lucas'', who charted it as ''Mira Cómo Vas'' (''Look how you're going'' in Spanish).〔Sharp, Andrew ''The discovery of the Pacific Islands'' Oxford, 1960, p.36.〕 It was also later visited by the Spanish naval officer Felipe Tompson on 7 April 1773, who charted it as the ''Bajo Triste'' (the ''Sad Shoal'' in Spanish) due to its "horrible aspect" in his own words. Oroluk Island was charted by Tompson as ''San Agustín''.〔Espinosa y Tello, Josef ''Memorias sobre las observaciones astronomicas hechas por los navegantes españoles en distintos lugares del globo'' t.II, Madrid, 1809, p.17.〕
