Does anyone have more info or stories describing what was contained on these phantom islands?
>/wiki/Phantom_island
(contains a long list of phantom islands)
Some people have even claimed to have set foot on these islands
>/wiki/Saint_Brendan's_Island
"This island is named after Saint Brendan, who claimed to have landed on it in 512 together with 14 monks, with whom he held a Mass. The monastic party reported its stay as 15 days, while the ships expecting their return complained that they had been kept waiting a year, during which period the island remained concealed behind a thick curtain of mist."
>/wiki/Frisland
"Frisand, is a phantom island that appeared on virtually all of the maps of the North Atlantic from the 1560s through the 1660s."

Aye. Legend tells of an island, one that can only be found by those who already know where it is.

You know it's interesting that you bring that up.
I saw that island, it was formerly a Sarah Ann Island.
What happened to Sarah Ann?

How does a small continent stay on a map for 100 years without someone asking what life is like or what the food is like there?

Given that its was the fucking 1600s people probably didnt bother with a small island. Probably not worth the hassle. Or probably SKULL ISLAND.
