Queen Charlotte Bay (Spanish: Bahia San Julian ) is a bay/fjord on the west coast of West Falkland. It is one of the two main bays on that coast, the other being King George Bay. Islands in the bay include Weddell Island, and Fox Island. It has an extremely intricate shoreline, and is regularly battered by westerly winds.
Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or bay:
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
