Any fans of her or of the mystery of her disappearance? Stay tuned...an expedition in search of her has recently left Hawaii in destination of Nikumororo in search of her.

I've read enough to know that they have something here. Much evidence has already been found that suggests that she landed there and lived as a castaway for weeks or even months there.

I'm a huge fan of hers and would give an arm to be on that boat heading to Nikumororo to dig for her bones.

Here is one of many articles that can be found on this expedition.

TIGHAR (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) heads this expedition.

I just received the book "Amelia Earhart's Shoes" and can't wait to sit down and read it

I'm hoping that they finally find indisputable evidence that she landed, lived and died there.

Talk to Fred Noonan about that. He was her navigator. ;)

I am pretty sure he perished ahead of her...trying to catch fish out on that razor sharp reef.

Damn, I'm so sad for the both of them. They should have been found and rescued.

What a horrible situation to be in..no fresh water...nothing. gah

Bless you Perg...that's one of the loviest pics I've ever seen of her. She disappeared on July 2nd. She def deserves a tribute.

The article is interesting. That TIGHAR guy sounds like a combination of huckster and serious researcher.
 
Fala said:
Oh, forgot to mention, he was actually one of the pioneers of flight in those days. Just google him and read. Easy enough. :)

Too much trouble. Besides, I already know that he was one of the pioneers of flight. That's alls I need.

Yeah, Perg, actually, there has already been evidence found dating back 40 years or so...so there is that.

I do also hope, as I suspect you feel, that there are no shenanegans involved here. I'm just hoping that those on this expedition are pure of heart where this is concerned.

They do have an online site. Not sure if you saw it They've done other things I believe.

I do hope it goes well. It would be neat if they found the site. All I know about it is that article in Outside. I've become more interested in this sort of stuff as I've aged.

Me too! I learned of her as a little girl, but have grown up to immerse myself in certain mysteries.

My uncle was a world explorer and I think I got the gene (bug) somewhat.

Anyway, for months, I've wanted to do a schooner tour of the south pacific. I hesitate as I have an awful fear of sharks.

Funny, I'm an incredibly strong swimmer, should the boat sink in the middle of the south pacific, however, I believe the fear of sharks would overtake me and I'd opt out....ya know what I mean.

You sound a bit like Lady P, who has a sort of morbid fascination with sharks. Such that she opted out of SCUBA certification on the first open water dive. She was a competitive swimmer as well.

Meh, schooners don't sink. Let's go!

Well, my husband dove the Great Barrier Reef a couple of months ago. Don't get me wrong....I do NOT want to get into the water.

I just want to land on the islands and explore.
 
If I remember right, wasn't that island temporarily settled within a year after they may have perished.

If I'm not mistaken, it was settled BEFORE but they abandoned the project because it was too harsh of a place to live.

I'm most interested in the artifacts found there and the partial skeleton found under a tree near the campsite.

Part of the skeleton is missing undoubtably due to the HUGE blue crabs that live on the island. Check out these crabs, they're impressive...beautiful.

I do know that another short landing of some sort happened there, but nothing significant enough to have resulted in any findings of Earhart or Noonan.

Sounds like we'd make great couples travel companions. Boys dive while the girls snorkel and explore the land?

I used that new fangled Google thang, it was a survey party that arrived after they may have perished. I knew someone was there shortly after though, so I'm keeping Alzheimers at bay!

From wiki:
On December 1, 1938, members of the British Pacific Islands Survey Expedition arrived to evaluate the island as a possible location for either seaplane landings or an airfield. On December 20, more British officials arrived with 20 Gilbertese settlers in the last colonial expansion of the British Empire (other than formal annexations preparatory to withdrawal, etc.).[N 2] Efforts to clear land and plant coconuts were hindered by a profound lack of drinking water. By June 1939, a few wells had been successfully established and there were 58 I-Kiribati on Gardner, including 16 women and 26 children. The island's early supervisor and magistrate was Teng Koata whose wife, according to local legend, had an encounter with the goddess Manganibuka on a remote part of the island.

The island's population reached a high of approximately 100 by the mid-1950s. However, by the early 1960s, periodic drought and an unstable freshwater lens had thwarted the struggling colony. Its residents were evacuated to the Solomon Islands by the British in 1963 and by 1965 Gardner was officially uninhabited.
