Church Bay is a bay 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) wide, indenting the north coast of South Georgia between Low Rock Point and Cape North. It was roughly charted by Discovery Investigations personnel in the period 1925–30 and surveyed by the South Georgia Survey, 1951–57. The name is well established in local use.
Famous quotes containing the words church and/or bay:
““To me it seems a shocking idea. I despise and loathe myself, and yet you thrust self at me from every corner of the church as though I loved and admired it. All religion does nothing but pursue me with self even into the next world.””
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
