Vindication Island
- ... that Vindication Island vindicated James Cook's discovery of two islands? Source: Reports indicating that the Candlemas Islands contained three islands or a single island for many years overshadowed Cook's earlier description. A survey in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery II confirmed Cook's report, thus suggesting the name for this island.
- ... that an island vindicated James Cook?

Overall: @Jo-Jo Eumerus: Good article, but the hook isn't all that interesting. Maybe a new hook or a rewording of the hook could work. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
