More a thought while on the way to the supermarket and not in the shower, although it did rain, so I hope I can still post my thought here.

nothing to bicker about. they had no claim. they mapped the west and the north. the places they did map they named, as per most known conventions. its why lots of little islands in different places have different names sometimes.

either way the poms set up shop here first and here we are.
