(The waters in that gulf north of a line drawn from Troubridge Point on Yorke Peninsula to Rapid Head on Fleurieu Peninsula.)
Gulf St Vincent 30.3.1802. Flinders. Named after Earl St Vincent, President of the Board of the Admiralty. Baudin wanted to name the gulf 'Golfe de la Mauvaise' because of the bad conditions there, however, in his log Baudin named it Golfe de la Misanthropie (Mankind-hater Gulf). To futher confuse things, it was marked as Golfe Josephine on Peron's charts in 1803 "in honour of our august Empress". It was a blatant piece of courtiership; but unfortunately Napoleon's nuptial arrangements were in a state of flux, and when the trenchant Quarterly reviewer of 1810 came to discuss the work, the place of Josephine was occupied by Marie Louise. It was saucily suggested: "Bonaparte has since changed it for Louisa's Gulf."
