- A shoal in the South China Sea.
1994, Mark Albert Hoyt, Sino-Vietnamese interests collide in the South China Sea: A case study of the disputed Paracel and Spratly archipelagos, University of Hawaii, →OCLC, page 8:The March 1992 CIA map includes the Macclesfield Bank, the Truro Shoal and the Scarborough Reef as belonging in the Paracel Archipelago. As there are only Chinese claims to the Macclesfield Bank (and presumably to both the Truro Shoal and the Scarborough Reef), this debatable point appears to be overlooked by most scholars.
2015, Daniel Schaeffer, “The Legacy of the Nine-Dashed Line: Past, Present, and Future”, in The South China Sea: Challenges and Promises, Xlibris, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 107:On 19 November 2007, China created the district of Sansha which encompasses the Paracels (Xisha Qundao), the Spratlys (Nansha qundao) and Zhongsha qundao, a fictitious archipelago which gathers the submarine elevation of Macclesfield Bank, the submarine elevation of Truro shoal and Scarborough reef, and the waters these archipelagos are supposed to generate around them.
2016, James Swallow, Nomad, Zaffre, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 253:Marc remembered the impact as the Lynx collided with the whitecaps off Truro Shoal, the cold waters of the South China Sea filling the helicopters cockpit and battering him back against his seat.
