Indonesia High Sea

North of the Admiralty Islands, these equatorial waters lie east of the Kaniet or Anchorite Islands. Kaniet forms the easternmost part of the Western Islands of the Bismarck Archipelago; nearby Sae is a separate island. In 1545 Iñigo Órtiz de Retes sighted Kaniet from the San Juan while trying to sail from Tidore back to New Spain.
