Place ID: 13259
ESE of Prime Head, Trinity Peninsula, was roughly charted by FAE, 1837-40, in February 1838 and named Cap Siffrey probably after a supporter of the expedition (Vincendon-Dumoulin, atlas, 1847, Pl.8). Following survey by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in October 1946, the name of Siffrey was applied in error to Prime Head (q.v.). Following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, the original feature named by FAE was correctly identified. Punta Black, as rejected name (Argentina. MM, 1957a, p.7). Punta Negra [=black point] (Argentina. MM. 1957a, p.7; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.208). Cape Siffrey (Anderson, 1957, end map; BA chart 3205, 23.xi.1962; 16.vii.1976). Cabo Negro (Argentina. MM, 1958b, p.101; Pierrou, 1970, p.542). Mys Sifre (Soviet Union. MMF chart, 1961). Siffrey Point (APC, 1964, p.4; BAS 250 sheet SP 21-22/13, 1-DOS 1974). |
