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:
“If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they’d realise that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
