On November 7, 1802, the americanAmerican trading ship Palmyra, under Captain Cornelius Sawle, was shipwrecked on the reef, which took the vessel's name and now is known as Palmyra Atoll.

Does anybody know the exact reason why the ship itself was named Palmyra? I suppose it was named after some city/town, but I'm not sure. And there are a lot of towns and cities named Palmyra, so it's not clear which one is related to the ship.

  • Palmyra, Illinois
  • Palmyra, Indiana
  • Palmyra, an ancient city in Syria
  • and so on.
