Omba Island
Omba Island is an island of Indonesia. It was written about by William Dampier in "A Continuation of a Voyage to New Holland" (1699): In February 1805, the British ship "Iris", under the command of Captain William Clark, intercepted and engaged a valuable Batavian vessel near Omba Island; after a fierce battle, Clarke was badly wounded and the "Iris" was too damaged to continue, and had to break off the engagement.
