Narrative

running NW-SE between Extension Reef to NE and Lavoisier Island to SW, Biscoe Islands (q.v.). There is no contemporary evidence for the later supposition that Palmer in the sloop Hero sighted this feature in January 1821. The feature was first sighted and roughly charted by Biscoe in February 1832 but, in association with Palmer's alleged discovery, called Pendleton Bay after Capt. Benjamin Pendleton, who was Commodore of the sealing fleet from Stonington, Conn., which included Hero (Balch, 1902, end map; Charcot, 1911a, map facing p.348); further charted by FAE, 1908-10, on 13 January 1909.
