Flint Island is located 685 nautical miles south of the equator.
It is about 86 miles S.S.E. of Vostok Island, 125 miles S.W. of
Caroline Island (now Millennium Island), and 390 miles N.N.W. of
Papeete, Tahiti. It is a narrow coral island, two and a half
miles long, N.N.W. and S.S.E., tapering toward both ends from a
greatest width of half a mile. Its greatest land height is 22
feet. When visited by the brig Porpoise of the U.S. Exploring
Expedition, February 5, 1841, it was reported to be thickly
wooded. Since then, most of the forest has been replaced by
coconut palms. Budget DVD Sale Click here for Jane's Oceania
