Elliot Bay (II)

The bay was named during the Wilkes expedition in 1841, however it is not known for whom the bay is named. Candidates include members of the expedition: Jared Elliott, ship´s chaplain; George Elliott, ship´s boy; and Midshipman Samuel Elliott. The last has been deemed the most likely namesake. Commodore Jesse Elliott has also been proposed as a possible source of the name. The bay has been referred to as Duwamish Bay and Seattle Harbor, especially before the US Board on Geographic Names officially settled on the name "Elliott Bay" in 1895. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_Bay
