&gt; &gt; It would be nice to discover if and which are the DISPUTED islands between<br/>
&gt; &gt; U.S. and the other Countries.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; The CIA World Factbook lists:<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;     1. Machias Seal Island and North Rock are disputed with Canada as part of <br/>
&gt; maritime boundary disputes over the waters around them and elsewhere.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;     2. Haiti claims Navassa.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;     3. The Republic of the Marshall Islands claims Wake.<br/>

variously<br/>
tho i dont know what to believe<br/>
4 bajo nuevo bank aka petrel island or islands<br/>
& <br/>
5 serranilla bank<br/>
naming in both cases jamaica nicaragua columbia & honduras<br/>
at least somewhat<br/>
<br/>
which if true is staggeringly fantastic news <br/>
since it elevates these banks to the level of louisa reef & perhaps a very few other <br/>
individual spratleys that have so many as 5 claimants each<br/>
& thus present at least a 3 way tie for most coveted individual speck in the world<br/>
