The exact title was "Lost Islands: The Story of Islands that Have Vanished From Nautical Charts" by Henry M. Stommel Univ. of B.C. Press, 1984 ISBN 0774802103 If I go to the library soon ( and remember ) I'll re-checkout the book and look up Tabor and see if it is in it. -- Gordon -- ,,, (. .) +-------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------+ | Gordon Talge WB6YKK e-mail: gtalge AT pe DOT net | | Department of Mathematics http://www.nlmusd.k12.ca.us | | Norwalk High School Norwalk, CA | | (o- Debian / GNU / Linux | | //\ The Choice of the GNU Generation | | v_/_ .oooO | | - E Aho Laula - ( ) Oooo. - Wider is Better - | +-------------------------\ (---( )-------------------------+ \_) ) / (_/
