| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Suwarrow (also
called Suvorov, Suvarou, or Suvarov) is a low coral atoll in the Cook
Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is about 1,300 km south of the equator
and 825 km northwest of Rarotonga, from which it is administered.The
atoll was inhabited by Polynesians during prehistory. It was uninhabited
when discovered by the Russian ship Suvorov, which reportedly followed
clouds of birds to the island on September 17, 1814. (The ship was named
after Russian general Alexander Suvorov, who appears as "Suwarrow" in
Lord Byron's epic poem Don Juan.) It has been only intermittently
inhabited since. The Island name has also been spelled variously as
Souvorow, Souwaroff, and Souworoff. "Suwarrow" is the official spelling
adopted by New Zealand. |
