The Ratak Chain is an island chain in the East of the territory of the Marshall Islands. Dating from the Micronesian language word Ratak means “Sunrise” (Eastern). Many of the atolls forming islets are uninhabited.

The first European Spanish explorer Alonso de Salazar reached in 1526 the islands, in 1529 it reached the Spanish navigator Alvaro de Saavedra. However, the Spaniards made no further claims to the islands claimed so they went unnoticed for two centuries by Europeans until the English captain John Marshall visited 1788. After him the islands were named later. At the beginning of the 19th century they were first mapped by the Baltic German explorer Otto von Kotzebue, officer of the Russian navy.

Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through to the end of the 19th century, the six volume work remains completely unique in its scope and detail. “Some books just scream out to be bought; this is one of them.” ― Vogue.com
