ALGOA BAY

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 655 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALGOA BAY , a wide, shallow bay of
South
  Africa, 436 M. E. from the Cape of Good
Hope
 , bounded W. by Cape Recife, E. by Cape Padrone. St Croix
Island
  in the bay is in 330 47' S. 25 46' E. On this
island
  Bartholomew Diaz made his second landing in
South
  Africa some time after the 3rd of
February
  1488, and from the
cross
  which he is thought to have erected on it the island gets its name. Algoa Bay was the first landing-
place
  of the British emigrants to the eastern province of Cape
Colony
  in 182o. At a spot 6 m. N.E. of Cape Recife these emigrants founded a town, Port Elizabeth (q.v.), its harbour being sheltered from all winds
save
  the S.E. By seafarers "Algoa Bay" is used as synonymous with Port Elizabeth.
