History of Makushin Bay

Russian name given by Captain P.K. Krenitzin and Lieutenant M. Levashev (Cove, 1787, p. 222), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), and was transliterated as Makyshinskaia Bay by Reverend Cox (Chart 2, p. 205). This name may have been taken from the Russian word Makushka, meaning the crown (of the head) or top, possibly referring to Makushin Volcano. Lieutenant Sarichev (1826, map 14, dated 1792) Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), published the name as Guba Makushinskaya, meaning Makushin Bay.
