The First Attempt at Exploring the Island

Time: 1857 warning

Place: Christmas Island

Details: The first attempt at exploring the island was in 1857 by the crew of the Amethyst. They tried to reach the summit of the island but found the cliffs impassable.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
