Notter Point

Notter Point (63°40′S 59°11′W / 63.667°S 59.183°W / -63.667; -59.183) is a rocky point 6 nautical miles (11 km) northeast of Cape Kjellman marking the west limit of Bone Bay, Trinity Peninsula. The name, applied by Argentina in 1953, memorializes Tomas Notter, a commander of English origin in Admiral Brown's squadron in the struggle for Argentine independence. He died fighting against the Spanish commander Romarate on March 21, 1814 aboard his small vessel Santisima Trinidad, when his vessel grounded under enemy batteries.
