III. Bermeja A.D. 1539 Discovered in the early 16th century by Spain, but mysteriously vanished sometime during the 17th century. While no dominant theory holds, it is possible that the island submerged due to tectonic movements, supported by the existence of a seamount and the nearby Scorpion Reef.
Brasil 1325 Said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland. Irish myths described it as cloaked in mist except for one day every seven years, when it became visible but still could not be reached. Several 16th century maps showing the island of Brasil also showed an island labelled Demar further south-west.
Davis Land 1687 At the time, it was believed that gold could be found elsewhere along the latitude so several navigators were instructed to seek it out on their voyages. Never found, it was also believed to be the coast of Australia.
IV. Jacquet Island An island just to the east of the Flemish Cap; it was believed to exist into the 19th century, during which cartographers discussed it as a possible midway point for the Transatlantic telegraph cable.

V. Keenan Land Large landmass reportedly discovered in the Arctic north of Alaska; numerous searches failed to relocate it.
VI.-IX Kentzell's Island Reported by Capt. Kentzell of San Francisco at approx. 40° N, 150° 30′ W. The island, 20 miles long and "very low," was said to have a large seal and sea elephant population, and therefore was kept secret by seal hunters. Searches failed to find it while sightings still came in.
Tiburones The residents of Uapoa claimed it existed, reporting it had high land, one sandy beach which could be approached in good weather, and a single male inhabitant - the others having fled. Location given as 11° S, 143° W; noted doubtful in 1851 and not seen on modern maps.
Yosemite Rock Noted as "Existence doubtful" in Operational Navigation Chart of the United States Department of Defense.
L'Enfants Perdu Islands Found doubtful in 1875 after searches found no land in the area. Possibly a mistaken sighting of the Horne Islands.

[Nachfolgend] The Zeno brothers, Nicolo ans Antonio, came to prominence in 1558 when their descendant, Nicolo Zeno the younger, published a map and a series of letters purporting to describe an exploration made by the brothers of the north Atlantic and Arctic waters in the 1390s. Modern historians and geographers have disputed the veracity of the map and the described voyages, with some accusing the younger Zeno of forgery.
