I happen to think this stuff is fascinating... So thank you for linking.
Often thought about the "taking pics for the Navy" myself. My Dad is a Navy Cmdr. Ret. who spent time on a guided missile frigate and an aircraft carrier. He had his thoughts as well.

I don't know. She was pretty damn rough. Plus, she ate at the Y exclusively. Strapper style.

After a couple months alone on an island with no other women around, she'd be looking like 1990 Kathy Ireland to ol' boy.

At least until the coconut crabs caught up to y'all...
Some believe this excellent sense of smell, in fact, led the coconut crabs to a dead or dying Amelia Earhart. According to one theory, Earhart did not drown in the Pacific but instead crash landed on Nikumaroro, a remote atoll in the Pacific. Environmental Graffiti:
In 1940, researchers discovered a fraction of a skeleton on the island that matched the description of Amelia Earhart. Now, even more interesting clues are arising that seem to substantiate the idea that this is where she met her demise. The most compelling hypothesis currently under consideration is that coconut crabs overwhelmed her where she lay.
Researchers carried out an experiment to validate whether the coconut crabs had a part in her demise.
Back in 2007, they used a small pig carcass to assess what the coconut crabs might have done. The bones were removed very quickly and scattered, according to Patricia Thrasher, TIGHAR’s president.

Crabs ate her alive?
Posted on 10/29/14 at 3:21 pm to HarryBalzack
Possibly.

"The evidence on Nikumaroro could turn out to be an odd coincidence and wishful thinking, meaning that the castaway’s bones actually belong to some other poor, stranded soul. In this scenario, Earhart simply crashed into the ocean and died on impact – probably a preferable ending to being eaten by giant coconut crabs."
Well that's just, like, your opinion.

MORAL:
On Nikumaroro, people do not catch the crabs, crabs catch people.

Stranded on an island, I could make this work.
Hell, a routine dry spell would make this work.

Among terrestrial arthropods, the phylum that includes crustaceans, spiders and insects, coconut crabs are the largest on the planet. The crabs, which live on islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans, can grow up to three feet across and weigh nine pounds, Wired reports.
To get that big, the crabs need to eat a lot.
