Hero Bay

Hero Bay

Hero Bay (coord|62|31|S|60|27|W|) is a 17 mi wide bay, which indents for 6 mi the north side of Livingston Island between Cape Shirreff and Williams Point, in the South Shetland Islands. The name ‘Blythe Bay’, originally applied to a small bay on the southeast side of Desolation Island on Powell's chart of 1822 published by Laurie, was erroneously transferred to this bay in the l930s. This error has now been rectified and a new name approved for the feature here described. Hero Bay is named for the American sloop "Hero", under Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer, which was one of the vessels of the Pendleton sealing fleet from Stonington which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21.
