==Shipwrecks==
On 12 November 1844 a cyclone deposited two British vessels, sailing separately, on the shore of the island, about a quarter of a mile apart. Of the some 630 people on {{ship||Briton|1842 ship|2}} and {{ship||Runnymede|1825 ship|2}}, most of them soldiers and their dependents going to [[Kolkata|Calcutta]], only one died in the wrecking, though some died later. The survivors were all rescued by 5 January 1845.
