At the time the island was known to British sailors as "Perates". In 1851, the British <a href="/wiki/Screw_sloop" title="Screw sloop">screw sloop</a> <a href="/wiki/HMS_Reynard_(1848)" title="HMS Reynard (1848)">HMS Reynard</a> wrecked on the south-east bend of Pratas Atoll while going to the aid of another wrecked vessel; the crew were all saved.<a href="#cite_note-WL-44">[44]</a> Decades later, the boilers and parts of the machinery of the wreckage of HMS Reynard remained visible on the atoll.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> In 1859–1861, there was a correspondence between the <a href="/wiki/British_Colonial_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="British Colonial Office">British Colonial Office</a> and the Hong Kong colonial authorities about building a lighthouse on the main island on the atoll. Despite an offer by a British businessman in <a href="/wiki/Xiamen" title="Xiamen">Xiamen</a> (Amoy) to build it, it was decided that the cost was too great and the matter lapsed. It is clear from the correspondence that no one supposed the atoll to be a part of any known jurisdiction, so negotiations might have been required to ensure that any construction would be legal.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> One consequence of that initiative was that, in 1858, the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> survey ship <a href="/wiki/HMS_Saracen_(1831)" title="HMS Saracen (1831)">HMS Saracen</a> completed the first detailed survey of the atoll, resulting in the Plan of the Pratas Reef and Island, J. Richards and others, April 1858, being published by the British Admiralty.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> On the resulting chart three positions are proposed for a lighthouse: on Pratas Island, on the north-east corner, or on the southern edge near where HMS Reynard had stranded. In the north-east corner of the lagoon the chart notes "Anchorage for junks", indicating regular use by fishing and other small vessels taking shelter. The chart's rubric noted that the available safe draft for vessels entering was only 15 feet (4.6 m), so it was restricted to relatively small vessels only. In 1866, naturalist <a href="/wiki/Cuthbert_Collingwood_(naturalist)" title="Cuthbert Collingwood (naturalist)">Cuthbert Collingwood</a> visited Pratas Island and later published a description of it.<a href="#cite_note-1866visit-48">[48]</a> In 1908–1909, a Japanese businessman named Nishizawa Yoshizi (西澤吉次) established a <a href="/wiki/Guano" title="Guano">guano</a> collecting station.
