Tanker Black Pearl "Nihiru"

Hidden gem from Nihiru, one of the Tuamotu atolls in French Polynesia. The first recorded European to arrive to Nihiru was Baltic-German oceanic explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen in 1820 on ships Vostok and Mirni. Bellingshausen was born on Estonian island Saaremaa and quickly rose to the rank of admiral in Russian navy. He participated in the circumnavigation of the globe and subsequently became a leader of another circumnavigation expedition that discovered the continent of Antarctica.
