Sturgess Bay (54˚02'00" 132˚14'00" SW side of Masset Hbr, N side of Graham I, QCI). Named in 1907 by Capt Frederick Learmonth of HMS Egeria after the Susan Sturgis, a US schooner that was pillaged and burned near here by the Masset Haida in 1852. See Susan Bank, which was named by Learmonth at the same time, in association with the bay.
