Pinnacle Rock a US Navy target practice?

I visited the island back in March and the guide there said that Pinnacle Rock got its shape from the US Navy using it as target practice. I can't find anything on the web regarding this. --Ouzo (talk) 15:58, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious reference and 'fact'

Currently the Lede contains the sentence:

"This island, and Sulivan Bay on Santiago island, are named after naturalist and lifelong friend of Charles Darwin, Sir Bartholomew James Sulivan, who was a lieutenant aboard HMS Beagle.[2]"

Firstly, Reference [2] to which this is cited appears not to support any of the specifics in this sentence, and is a website advertising tourist trips, to which it links.

Secondly, the assertion that Sulivan was a "naturalist" appears not to be correct. His own article refers to him as a hydrographer.

I notice that in the article on the Galapagos Islands, a near-identical sentence which omits the word "naturalist" is cited to an entirely different source, a Princeton University Press publication. This reference's link is also somewhat advertisal, but is a collection of substantial reviews of the book which at least confirms its general authority.

I propose that we replace "naturalist" with "hydrographer", and replace the existing Reference [2] with that used in the Galapagos Islands article. An alternative might be to mine references for the several facts of the sentence from the Sulivan article. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.205.58.107 (talk) 12:33, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
