Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ... but he named it after the officer in command of the boats, la Baie de Monti. June 27, 1786.! It was first made known to the world by Captain George Dixon in the Queen Charlotte, who entered it May 23, 1787, and made a sketch of the southeastern part of the bay. He was engaged in fur trading and advanced northward along the eastern shore only so far as he found Indians. Believing he was the first discoverer, he named the southeast part Port Mulgrave. To the whole bay his sketch chart exhibits the name Admiralty Bay, but it is not found in his narrative. Tebenkof says that in 1788 Botcharof was with Ismailof in Yakutat and Lituya bays, but that the resulting map of the coast was lost. In the same year Captain William Douglas of the Iphigenia was upon this coast with John Meares, Esq., of the King George, trading for furs. In working eastward from Kayak Island he had hazy weather, and sometimes did not see the land. On July 31st he steered northward to make the land near "Beering's Bay." The long boat was sent in, and " by account " reached latitude 590 41', but was driven out by a northeast wind and picked up by the vessel. He continued eastward and the weather cleared sufficiently for him to see Mt. St. Elias. We have no other information from him.
