Hannah Point

Hannah Point divides Walker Bay from South Bay on the south coast of Livingston Island, one of the South Shetland Islands in the British Antarctic Territory

The point was roughly charted by Fildes in 1820-21 and called descriptively 'Black Point'. It was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1935. Following air photography by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition and a ground survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1956-58, it was named in association with the names of nineteenth-century sealers in this area; 'Hannah Point' is named after the sealing ship Hannah (under Captain James Johnson), of Liverpool, which was wrecked in the South Shetlands Islands on Christmas Day 1820.
