Comment[edit]

The article currently says the bay was named "Wager Bay" in 1742. HMS Wager (1739) was wrecked in the far south coast of what is now Chile in 1741. It seems likely the Bay is named after the wreck. We should keep our eyes peeled for an WP:RS that says so. Geo Swan (talk) 23:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
