A bay about 4 mi wide, indenting the W coast of Graham Land between Cape Sterneck and Cape Andreas. The name Bahia Inutil (useless bay) appearing on a 1957 Argentine chart is considered misleading; the bay has been used as an anchorage. The bay was renamed by UK-APC in 1960 for Glenn Curtiss (1878-1930), American aeronautical engineer who pioneered seaplanes from 1911 onward.
