  • L'Île Jacquet est une île fantôme située dans l'Atlantique nord. Elle a été signalée pour la première fois en 1728, avec quelques autres témoignages jusqu'en 1838. Son existence a présenté un regain d'intérêt au moment de la conception des premiers câbles télégraphiques transatlantiques car elle aurait pu faciliter son installation, mais les missions de repérages ont définitivement conclu à son inexistence.
