Location of bay[edit]
I've noticed that the Asiatic Pilot (1918) and the Sailing Directions (2014) both state that the bay is the tiny one on the west side of Akademii Zaliv, but other sources (notably GoogleMaps and several papers I've read) state that it is the larger bay just to the east. The whalers called this larger bay Taylor's Bay, not the smaller one described by the Asiatic Pilot and Sailing Directions. Given the strong tides and narrow entrance of the smaller bay I'd doubt whaleships would attempt to anchor in it. It's pretty clear from the logbooks and journals that they only anchored offshore in the larger bay. Hope someone can clear this up. ST1849 (talk) 19:00, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
