Three Months on Palau
- When
- August–November 1783 (approximate)
- Where
- Pelew Islands (Palau)
- Part of
- Wreck of the Antelope
Survivors of the wreck, including Captain Henry Wilson, spent three months on Palau after losing their ship.
After the Antelope was wrecked, its survivors, among them Captain Henry Wilson, remained on Palau for three months. This extended stay, rather than a brief sighting, made the episode the first sustained European contact with the islands and produced the journals and communications later used for published accounts.
