This is very frustrating to read after a non-fiction book about a ship! With the non-fiction one about the Erebus, I kept looking up all the little islands that were mentioned, and I found all of them. But this island is fictional! There is a Meroe Island, but it's at a very different place in the world. So I keep looking for islands of different names in the right place that might be this one! But yeah it might just not exist.
