The Royal Company's Islands are a group of phantom islands reported by some early explorers to lie southwest of Tasmania. They were first heard of before 1840, but the original report cannot be traced. Many old charts show them at or . The islands' existence was disproved as early as 1840 by the United States Exploring Expedition. From 1889 to 1902 several vessels passed through the islands' vicinity without noting any landforms, and in 1904 the UK Hydrographic Office finally decided to remove them from all Admiralty charts. Further searches by the ''Nimrod'' in 1909 and the ''Aurora'' in 1912 turned up nothing. ==References and sources== ;References ;Sources *
