Saint Paul : one of the most remote island on earth (Travelog: 14/16)

<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT = "#ABCBBE"> <BR> One of the richnesses of St Paul are the lobsters. In 1928, a French business man installs a canning facility on the island (see the ruins). After 2 seasons of fishing, 7 people remain on St Paul, in order to maintain the factory. Unfortunately, the business man goes bankrupt and they "are forgotten". <BR> 3 years later, only 2 survivors will be found!<BR> As in Amsterdam, the otaries were practically decimated at the beginning of the century and are, today, again very numerous.<BR> </BODY>
