Small harbor indenting the E side of Enterprise Island just W of Pythia Island in Wilhelmina Bay, off the W coast of Graham Land. The name was applied by whalers using the harbor because the whaling vessel Gouvernoren I was wrecked there in 1916.

E side of Enterprise Island and SW of Pythia Island, Wilhelmina Bay, Danco Coast, was roughly charted by BAE, 1920-22, and named, following the usage of whalers in this area, after the whaling ship Gouvernøren I which was wrecked in the harbour in 1916 and remains there (Lester, 1920-22b, p.21; Lester and others, chart, [1921-22]; APC, 1961, p.3; BA, 1961, p.164); also called Pythia Harbour after the whaling factory ship Pythia which anchored there, 1921-22 (Lester, 1920-22b, Vol. 6, p.193). Guvernören [sic] Harbour (Bagshawe, 1921-22a, Vol. 4, p.165). Gouvernoren Harbour (Bagshawe, 1939, p.198). Puerto Svend Foyn, in error for Foyn Harbour (q.v.) (Argentina. MM, 1953, p.246; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.271). The harbour was photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956-57. Gouvernören Harbour (APC, 1960, p.4). Gouvernøren Harbor (USBGN, 1965, p.98).
