Encyclopedia > Bajo Nuevo Bank

Bajo Nuevo Bank, also called the Petrel Islands, is located in the western United States and Jamaica. The claim of the United States derives from the Guano Islands Act and specifically refers to the Low Cay. Bajo Nuevo is 26 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide. If the United States claim is valid, then the Bank would be considered an unorganized, unincorporated United States territory.
