Shirreff Cove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shirreff Cove () is a small cove or anchorage, situated immediately southwest of Cape Shirreff along the north side of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Edward Bransfield, Master, Royal Navy, named a cove in this vicinity for Captain William H. Shirreff British commanding officer in the Pacific in 1820. Present application of the name is based upon the location shown on Captain George Powell's map, published by Laurie in 1822.
