History of Clover Bay

This feature was surveyed and named "Thomas Bay" in 1885 by Lieutenant Cmdr. Richardson C. Clover, U.S. Navy (USN); later changed to Clover Bay by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) "to prevent confusion with another Thomas Bay in the Alexander Archipelago." The present name commemorates Clover himself.
