I read your comments with interest. Not sure if you're aware, but Henderson is the island upon which the survivors from the shipwreck Essex (the ship attacked by a whale that inspired Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick') landed. 3 of the men survived on the island for several months, and also discovered the remains of 8 unknown persons stranded from another shipwreck, the 'Elizabeth'. An amazing account was written by the first mate, Owen Chase. When the three surviving whaling boats left the island (leaving the 3 men behind), most did not survive, with those that did having to resort to cannibalism. Seeing your photos, the events described are made much more vivid.
