Despite that historically the Isle of Farmandie was extremely hard to find, since all of the early charting was off for a farely large margin, the northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]] was known as an interim trading post, resting point and shipyard by [[Corummese people|Corummese]], [[Kiravian]] and [[Bergendii]] sailors long before the islands first charting in [[1616]]. Fleets trying to navigate to the island often would sail past the island without being able to locate it while some fleets would encounter the island without knowledge of any existing land mass on their course. Sometimes causing entire fleets to run ashore and get shipwrecked on the islands jagged and rocky coast. Several times the island was believed to have drowned or shifted. It was also speculated if the island had just been a massive floating ice mass changing its location with the currents and melting away.
