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}. The features were not named there but the chart depicted the feature later named Galit as being located at about {location}, Panacot at {} and Lumbay at {}, but both this chart and the 1734 Vilarde map were made at a time before the development of the marine chronometer, when position was determined by celestial navigation, and the results were both imprecise and not closely repeatable.

It is likely that the three features were different historical reports of the same reef,{OR? not quite what the source says} 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. FGilipino historian Ambeth R. Ocampo has translated these to English respectively qas Anger, Threat, and Sorrow.[3] These names were possibly related to their danger to ships.[4][5]
