Narrative

S entrance point of Lehrke Inlet, Black Coast, was roughly surveyed by USAS in December 1940, when because of poor visibility it was believed to be an island in 70°52'S 61°30'W; called Sharbonneau Island after Charles W. Sharbonneau, carpenter at the expedition's "East Base" (USAAF chart [LR-74], 1942). This name was also used in error for Morency Island (q.v.) (USHO chart 2562, 1943). The feature was resurveyed from the ground by FIDS-RARE from "Stonington Island" in November 1947 and its true nature discovered. Cabo Sharbonneau (Argentina.
