A group of rocks located north of Saddle Point
Point named after boatsteerer Henry Story, leader of a small sealing gang landed at Corinthian Bay by the whaling bark Trinity just prior to its running aground near Elephant Spit during a severe storm on 17 October 1880. Concluding that Trinity had returned to New London, Story and three survivors inhabited a shanty for fourteen months of isolation. Story constructed a shallow, flat-bottomed watercraft of timber obtained from the shanty in order to sail across to Spit Bay to look for supplies. Applying remarkable seamanship, he reached Spit Bay and discovered the Trinity’s fate and fellow survivors.
