Wow, great maps, thanks for posting them! I find quite a few instances of big land masses in the Pacific on old maps, but it is never consistent. Seems like most of it sunk by the 1600's. And Hawaii doesn't show up until the modern versions.

Hmmm...can't help but wonder if those land masses were quarried. When I look at the seafloor images on GE around the west coast it sure looks like some major excavation work went on down there.
