History of Serranilla Bank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Serranilla Bank was first shown on Spanish maps in 1510. The United States claimed the Bank under the the Guano Islands Act in 1879 and 1880[1]. Colombia (indirectly) and possibly Honduras[2] also claim the Bank. The U.S. ceded claims to several "guano islands" to Colombia in 1981, but Serranilla Bank was not definitely included.
