Thursday Island
专有名词
英文释义
专有名词
- An island in the Torres Strait.
词源
In 1848 Captain Owen Stanley of the Royal Navy named this island Friday Island and another island Thursday Island (presumably the days of the week on which he named them). However, in June 1855 Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort switched the two names around, probably to preserve the east–west naming sequence with the present-day Friday Island and the nearby Wednesday Island.
