They are also sometimes known as the Wilson Islands.The islands are located at 9°51'48" S. lat., 167°4'48" E. long.The Duff Islands consist of:Taumako, the main island, with nearby Tahua and TohuaThe Bass Islands: Lua, Kaa and LorevaTreasurer's Islands: Tuleki (Anula), Elingi (Obelisk Island), Te Aku (Te Ako), Lakao and UlakaFrequently, Hallie Jackson Reef is mentioned in the context of the Duff islands, although it is located 45 km west of the 32 km long island chain, and although it is no island, but at most a submarine reef. In the Sailing Directions of 1969 Hallie Jackson Reef is described as a reef 24 feet deep, at 9°44'S, 166°07'E. The corresponding current (2010) publication has no mention of the reef anymore.The inhabitants of the Duff Islands are Polynesians, and their language, Pileni, is a member of the Samoic branch of Polynesian languages. On the islands of Duff live about 500 people. The way of life is traditional by subsistence farming and fishing. Taumako has no roads, airport, telephones, or electricity. Contact with outsiders comes by battery-powered marine radio and the occasional cargo ship.The first recorded sighting by Europeans of the Duff Islands was by the Spanish expedition of Pedro Fernández de Quirós where it anchored on 8 April 1606. Its inhabitants named the islands as Taumako. They were charted by Quirós as Nuestra Señora del Socorro (Our Lady of Succour in Spanish).The Duff Islands were named after missionary ship Duff, captained by James Wilson, which reached them in 1797.".
