Ocean Harbour

Ocean Harbour is a deeply indented bay on Barff Peninsula on the north coast of South Georgia which is entered 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west-northwest of Tijuca point. It was a whaling station between 1909 and 1920. At one point, South Georgia was the whaling capital of the world.

History
Old sealing trypots can still be seen here, and there is also the wreck of the Bayard here, a 1,300 tonne, long, iron-hulled boat, built in 1864. She was moored at the coaling station in 1911 when a gale blew her loose across the bay. Ocean Harbour was the site of the first introduction of reindeer to South Georgia by Pesca's whaling station manager Carl Anton Larsen and his brother in November 1911. Ocean Harbour has a small cemetery with eight graves including the oldest known grave on the island – that of Frank Cabrial (1820) of the sealer Francis Allen. The marker is gone, though some of the others are still marked. ==References==
