Narrative

rising 2 m above sea level at NW end of French Passage, Wilhelm Archipelago, were photographed from the air from HMS Protector's helicopter by an RN Hydrographic Survey Unit in March 1958; so named because the rocks constitute a hazard near the middle of the fairway (APC, 1959a, p.11; BA chart 3572, 12.viii.1960). Rocas Bravo, so called by CAE, 1960-61, after Capt. (F) Eugenio Bravo Crawley-Boevey, Operations Officer on the expedition (Chile. DNH chart 1502, 1962; IHA, 1974, p.54). Stag [sic] Rocks (BA, 1974, p.189).
