Draft article tentatively to be named Galit, Panacot and Lumbay
Galit, Panacot and Lumbay are three maritime features charted with those names off the west coast of central Luzon Island in the Philippines in the 1734 Velarde map. Features in approximately the same three locations were charted but not named in a nautical chart published as part of a French maritime atlas 1810 using information from charts published in 1771.[1] The earliest known charting of these features was on {a map https://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/39979/a-chart-of-the-china-sea-inscribed-to-monsr-dapres-de-mann-dapres-de-mannevillette-dalrymple}. They were not named there but the chart depicted the feature later named Galit as being located at about {;ocation}, [...]
It is likely that the three features were different historical reports of the same reef, Scarborough Shoal, from time periods where ocean navigation was imprecise. Upon the grounding of the Scarborough in 1748, it was thought that the grounding site was close to where Panacot was thought to be. Detailed surveys in the late 18th and 19th centuries more accurate mapped this shoal, and found no other shoals in the immediate area.[2]
Names
The island names are in the Tagalog language {add ...}
Galit means "anger", Panacot means "anger", and Lumbay means "sorrow". These names were possibly related to their danger to ships.[3][4]
Other names became associated with supposed shoals in this area. Galit was sometimes associated with a shoal other maps called Bajo de Bolinao, while Lumbay was associated with Bajo de Miravel. Names associated with Panacot include Bajo de Masinloc, Maroona, South Maroona, Marsingola, and eventually the current name of Scarborough Shoal.[2]
