  • Swan/Weddell Island

    Swan/Weddell Island

    WEDDELL ISLAND VERSION: 5 March 2019 SWAN/WEDDELL ISLAND The Weddell Island group with a total acreage of approximately 54,000 acres are located to the west of West Falkland between Port Stephens to the east and Beaver Island and New Island to the west. Included in the group are six islands: Penn, Barclay, Fox, Quaker, Low and Hill Islands along with a number of other small islets such as Bald, Carthors, Harbour and Circum. HMS Jason, a frigate of 32 guns, HMS Carcass a sloop, and the storeship HMS Experiment left England in September 1765 and, sailing via Madeira and the Cape Verde Islands, arrived in Port Egmont 8 January 1766. The expedition under Captain John McBRIDE had all the provisions and necessaries, including a ready framed wooden blockhouse, to establish a permanent settlement on Saunders Island. Captain McBride undertook the first hydrographic survey of the Falkland Islands and the unnamed Weddell Island appears on McBride’s “A chart of Hawkins Maidenland”. During the 18th and early 19th centuries Weddell Island was called Swan Island and was still referred to as Swan Island in an 1841 map by John ARROWSMITH. The name was later changed to Weddell Island after Captain James WEDDELL RN. The islands and their surrounding waters were a popular haunt of American whalers and sealers. Barclay Island was named after the Nantucket or New Bedford ship Barclay. A number of these men were Quakers and Penn Island was named after William Penn of the Society of Friends or Quakers; Fox Island after George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends and Quaker Island after their faith.

  • Patterns of Geographical Naming in the Falkland Islands

    Patterns of Geographical Naming in the Falkland Islands

    One territory – two toponymies: Patterns of geographical naming in the Falkland Islands Paul WOODMAN* This paper briefly sets the scene by looking at the qualities of islands in general, before examining the Falkland Islands in some detail. The Falkland Islands form a remote and uncompromisingly bleak territory in the South Atlantic Ocean, comprising two principal islands and several hundred smaller islands, islets and offshore rocks. The Islands were uninhabited when Europeans first sighted them in the sixteenth century, and the subsequent naming patterns reflect a chequered history involving the French, Spanish and English languages. About 10 per cent of the places and features in the Falkland Islands have names which differ as between English and Spanish. While dual toponymies are not uncommon across the globe, what is exceptional in the Falkland Islands is that only one of the two available toponymic inventories – the English-language inventory – is used in situ, for the entire population is English-speaking. The Spanish-language names are instead used outside the Islands, in the geographically most proximate independent country – Argentina – located more than 600 kilometres distant on the South American continent. As this paper will demonstrate, this extraordinary and perhaps unique toponymic circumstance is the result of particular historical, social and cultural phenomena, examination of which also reveals distinct national patterns of toponymic practice. SETTING THE ISLANDS SCENE Islands are different; islands are special – even though, as the Danish onomastician Peder Gammeltoft has pointed out, ultimately we all live on one, of one size or another (GAMMELTOFT 2016: 125). In reality and in our imagination, literally and figuratively, islands contain something inherent that sets them apart, giving them a quality which we might (for want of a better word) call ‘islandness’.

CLOSE-UP by Magnus Day and Silvia Varela, Great Lakes Station N MARCH 2016, WE DELIVERED SKIP NOVAK’S Pelagic from Puerto Williams in Chile to Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where it was to overwinter after sailing to Antarctica, Cape Horn, and the Chilean channels during the southern summer. This delivery was also a farewell—after many years skippering Pelagic and her big sister Pelagic Australis, Magnus had come back to southern waters for one more season before embarking on new projects. The Falkland Islands lie in the South Atlantic, at around 52°S and some 300I miles from Cape Horn. During our three-day delivery, a lively downwind ride, Magnus talked about his love for the Falklands “The tides around here just and the exceptional people he’d met there over the years. He’d been there many times, but always in transit from the South Georgia season seem to do what they want: based in Stanley to the Antarctica and southern Chile season based in Puerto Williams. The archipelago comprises the two main islands of sometimes they come in and East and West Falkland, as well as numerous smaller islands. Under time pressure from work, Magnus had only visited Stanley and a few go out; sometimes they come other sites. The places in between make fantastic cruising grounds in and stay for a few days. with safe anchorages, abundant wildlife, and dramatic landscapes, and ” he dreamt of spending time exploring them. As a photographer, Silvia was drawn to remote places and barren, wind-swept islands, and as a longtime resident of Argentina, she was already curious about the Falklands.
