Narrative

Small cove or anchorage, situated immediately SW of Cape Shirreff along the N side of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Edward Bransfield, Master, RN, named a cove in this vicinity for Capt. William H. Shirreff British commanding officer in the Pacific in 1820. Present application of the name is based upon the location shown on Capt. George Powell's map, published by Laurie in 1822.
