The name Cap Huon was applied to a cape in this rough position by FAE, 1837-40, on 27 February 1838, after Félix-Casimir-Marie Huon de Kermadec (b.1813), steward in the FAE ship Zelée (d'Urville, 1838, map following p.1170; 1841, p.xlviii). Cape Union, as corrupt form (BA chart 3205, 31.x.1921). Kapp Union (HA chart, 1928). Cabo Unión (Chile. DNH chart L, 1947). Following survey by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in September 1946, when it was found that no cape exists in this position, the name of Huon was transferred to the present feature.

Bay about 8 mi wide between Cape Ducorps and Cape Legoupil, along the N coast of Trinity Peninsula. A French expedition under Capt. Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837-40, originally gave the name Huon to a cape in this area after Felix Huon de Kermadec, a member of the expedition. A survey by the FIDS in 1946 did not identify the cape but applied the name to this bay which lies in the same area. |
