Talk:Stephenson Island

Nelson Island

An internet search found a personal report regarding the former name of Nelson Island, reported as Stephenson Island. Based on this report, Nelson Island was added to this page, and the article for Nelson Island was updated with that information.

However, no further or more reliable sources could be found to support that assertion. I contacted the Geological Society Of Trinidad and Tobago and got a reply from them as follows:

Good day,

Upon searching for an answer to your question, it has been seen that no historical document that we have has that name.

Hello,

I'm contacting you in the hope that you can assist my research concerning Nelson Island (Trinidad and Tobago). An unreliable report indicates that it was once formerly known as Stephenson Island, and I'm looking for a reliable reference that either confirms or refutes that. Do you know the answer?

Early in March, I attempted to contact the Trinidad and Tobago government's Survey and Mapping Division through their website and asked this same question. However, I have gotten no response and wonder if anyone is monitoring questions submitted the internet (any more).

Thank you!

Nelson Island has therefore been removed from this page and should not be re-added without strong official evidence to support that action.
