There used to be specialty cruises advertised in “Archaeology” mag et al, going to the Galapagos (that name just cries out to be pronounced “Gal oh PAY goes”) and seems to me once in a while they had Easter Island cruises. It can’t be much of a cruise, but you’d see a part of the Earth’s wet surface that over 99 percent of humanity has never seen. :’)

Years ago in “Strange” magazine (published by the late Mark Chorvinsky) Vincent Gaddis (an old stage magician and anomalist) penned an article about vanished islands and mystery lands that was very interesting; the one that is in context here is a small, inhabited archipelago w of Panama (a long way west) which was obscure and unheard of. An otherwise obscure 18th c ship’s captain learned of it from a priest who had lived on the islands, and who told him its discovery history and location. The captain sailed off to visit it, but couldn’t find it. He did however find floating debris, including broken nearly-whole trees, suggestive of submergence (volcanic eruption? landslide?) of a landmass.
