The Marquesas Keys seem to be named after the Marquis of Cadereita (Cadreita?), a 17th-century Spaniard high official. He set up a camp on the island in c.1622 when trying to salvage the treasure of a Spaniard vessel lost to a gale, the "Nuestra Señora de Atocha". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 11:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Atocha[edit]

Shouldn't it be mentioned. One of the biggest treasures ever found. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericg33 (talk • contribs) 05:35, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exact areas[edit]

Where are the exact values for areas in m² coming from?

... land area, according to the United States Census Bureau, is 6.58 km2 (2.54 sq mi) (exactly 6,579,703 m²), the water area 0.17 km2 (0.066 sq mi) (165,744 m²), giving a combined area of 6.75 km2 (2.61 sq mi) (6,745,447 m²), ...

Given the imprecise nature of boundaries on sandbar islands, I find it extremely unlikely that anyone has ever actually measured to that precision, or that the same measurement still held true the next week. I'm inclined to remove both chunks in red if nobody objects (or points to a WP:RS specifying them). Tarl N. (discuss) 20:20, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
