About the Item

The main volcanic islands are Uvea (Wallis) and Futuna and Alofi (Hoorn); the capital and chief town is on Uvea.

He in fact dropped anchor off the Uvea coast before continuing on to the northeast. Following this brief visit, the island had little contact with Europeans until the 1820s.
