Maria Theresa Reef
The Maria Theresa Reef is a supposed reef in the South Pacific (south of the French Tuamotu islands and east of New Zealand); it appears to be a phantom reef. It is also known as Tabor Island or Tabor Reef on French maps. Reports Bernhard Krauth explains that Tabor/Maria Theresa's existence was reported in three contemporary newspapers as a dangerous reef seen on 16 November 1843 by a Captain Asaph P. Taber (not "Tabor") of the ''Maria-Theresa'', a New Bedford, Massachusetts, whaler, to be situated at , later adjusted to .

Krauth further claims that Tabor would be in French waters if it existed. Jean-Paul Faivre reports that map no. 5356 of the (French) Naval Hydrographic Office an ...
