A bay, which is 3 mi wide and recedes 1.5 mi, entered between Rogers Head and Saddle Point on the N coast of Heard Island. The name appears on an early chart compiled by American sealers. It was probably given by Captain Erasmus Darwin Rogers, American whaler and sealer, after his vessel Corinthian in which he made the first landing on Heard Island in March 1855.
