Bay 5.5 mi wide, lying between Taylor Point and Cape Melville on the E side of King George Island, South Shetland Islands. Charted and named Bay of Destruction in 1821 by Richard Sherratt, Master of the Lady Trowbridge from Liverpool, probably because it was in this vicinity that his vessel was wrecked on Christmas Day, 1820.
