Henry Wilson (Antelope)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Wilson was captain of the British East India Company's packet ship Antelope, when it shipwrecked off Ulong,[1] near Koror Island in Palau in 1783. Although Spain had claimed the islands previously, Wilson's crew made the first sustained contact.
