Nice cruise; I envy you that one. I’ve followed your trail on Google Earth, and done a little research. New Caledonia seems to have been named in 1774 by Captain Cook, because it reminded him of Scotland. Seventy-five years later the crew of an American vessel were killed and eaten there. I know we  Scots have a reputation for eating odd things, such as haggis and deep fried Mars Bars, but Americans have never been part of our staple diet.
