About

on SE coast of Saint George I., in Prigilof Islands. 0.3 mile wide.

History

This cove is a good anchorage, reported by Elliott (1903, Saint George map and notes) in 1873-74. The Aleut name is "Kra'kankring'a" meaning "facing the east," according to Putnam (1903, p. 1015), U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS). Elliott (p. 19) writes that the early Russians "planted at Garden Cove, " which probably is the origin of the name.
