@mattround British mariner Abraham Bristow, who was the first European to reach the Auckland Islands, named the island Disappointment Island. Whilst aboard the ship Sarah in 1807, he unsuccessfully surveyed the island for fur seals and a base to reach the nearby fur seal rookeries on the western cliffs of Auckland Island.
